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!
