Ingredients
Dough:
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp dried yeast
- 225 ml warm water
- 275 g high-grade flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp wholemeal flour
- 1 Tbsp Olivado avocado rosemary oil
Topping:
- 3 Tbsp Olivado Extra Virgin Avocado Oil plus extra for brushing
- 6 cherry tomatoes halved horizontally
- 2 Tbsp Maison Therese Balsamic Onion Relish
- 1 sprig Superb Herb Rosemary leaves removed
- Flaky salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Place the sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle over the dried yeast. Pour in ½ of the measured warm water. Leave in a warm place until frothy, about 5 minutes.
- Sift the flour and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the wholemeal flour and avocado rosemary oil.
- Add the remaining warm water and the activated yeast mixture. Mix until well combined and the dough is smooth and shiny. (Kneading can be done by hand. Knead dough on a lightly-floured bench for 10-15 minutes until smooth).
- Turn out onto a lightly-floured bench and knead into a ball. Clean the bowl and lightly oil. Place in the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise until the dough has doubled in size, at least 1 hour and up to 1 ½ hours.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the measured oil. Brush or smear the oil into a circle (about 25cm in diameter). Place the dough on the circle and using the palm of your hand stretch it out to make a 25cm circle. Use your fingertips to press the dough to make indentations all over the surface of the dough.
- Stud the dough evenly with the cherry tomatoes, Maison Therese balsamic onion relish and fresh rosemary. Drizzle over the extra virgin avocado oil and 1 ½ tablespoons water.
- Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and a tea towel and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Place prepared bread dough in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until well browned. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack and brush or drizzle with a little extra avocado oil. Sprinkle over a little flaky salt.
