Makes 4
Hands-on Time 30 minutes
Proving Time +2 hours
Grilling Time 5-7 minutes
Ingredients
250g strong white bread flour (plus extra for dusting)
1½ tsp fast-action yeast
½ tsp fine sea salt
2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
165ml water
2 tsp sea salt flakes (optional, for topping)
Equipment
Mixing bowl
Tea towel or clingfilm
Grill rack (optional)
Baking sheet
Pastry brush
Method
1. Make the dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead on a lightly oiled surface for 10 minutes until smooth.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel or clingfilm, and let it prove until doubled in size (or overnight in the fridge for a slow prove).
2. Shape and grill the bread
Preheat the grill to medium-high. If using a grill rack, place it upside down on a baking sheet and warm it under the grill.
Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Gently stretch each piece into a round, oval, or triangular shape, letting gravity do most of the work.
Place 2 pieces of dough on the grill rack (or directly on the baking sheet). Grill for 3–4 minutes until puffed and golden.
Flip the bread and grill for another 2–3 minutes.
3. Finish and serve
Brush the grilled bread with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if desired.
Repeat with the remaining dough pieces.
Enjoy!
