Ingredients
Method
1.In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in 1 cup of the water by stirring it gently. Wait for 5-10 minutes until it begins to foam and bubble. Add in the remaining water and the rest of the flour. Mix until it comes together, then turn out onto a floured bench.
2.Knead by rolling and pushing the dough for about 10-15 minutes. Most people scrimp on this part, but don’t! Enjoy the process. It is ready when the dough springs back to the touch. Oil the bowl (no need to wash it), dust the dough with flour and place it in the oiled bowl. Cover with a damp tea towel and leave it in a warm place (sunny window sills are good, so are cars) for about 40 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
3.Now knock the dough down with a punch and knead again for 5 minutes. Shape it into a long oval by rolling or pushing it to about 1.5cm thick onto a tray that’s been dusted with flour.
4.Make the holes by pushing your fingers into the dough. Push tomato halves into the dents, sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt, then drizzle with olive oil. Again, leave it for 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size (3-3.5cm thick). Then it’s ready to cook.
5.Cook in a moderate to high heat for 20 minutes or until golden. Add a bit more olive oil and salt, then you’re done!
