Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting.
1/4 tsp yeast
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups water plus 2 Tbsp.
other toppings to your choosing (rock salt, rosemary, thyme, garlic, even stuff it with cheese. Make it your own!).
Method
In a large bowl stir together the flour, yeast and salt.
Add 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons water, and stir until blended; dough will be a bit wet and very sticky.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate and let it rest on the counter/benchtop for 18-24 hours.
The dough is ready when its surface is dotted with bubbles.
5. Flour a work surface and place dough on it; sprinkle it with a little more flour and fold it over on itself once or twice, then roughly shape into a ball.
6. Generously coat a cotton towel (not terry cloth) with flour; put dough seam side down on towel and dust with more flour.
7. Fold it over the bread or cover with another cotton towel and let it sit for another hour or two.
8. While the bread is resting, preheat the oven to 450°.
9. Put a baking tray in the oven as it heats.
10. When the dough is ready, carefully remove the tray from the oven. Slide your hand under towel and flip the dough over onto the tray and flatten like focaccia and put oil over it and poke multiple times with a fork.
11. Sprinkle coarse salt over the top and whatever other toppings you want; it might not look the best and a bit rough, but that’s OK.
12. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, until it’s nice and golden
