1
Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl.
-
2
Stir in the yeast, (this should be 1 dessert spoon but Zaar doesn't like it -- so it's about half a tbsp) oil and water.
-
3
Mix to a dough. Add more liquid if kneaded (depends on the dough you're using) but be careful.
-
4
Turn the dough out and knead it for 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
-
5
Place in an oiled bowl in a warm place (window sill / airing cupboard) for about an hour to double in bulk. Cover it with cling film or a wet tea towel to stop it from forming a crust. (If it does, then knead it some more to get rid of it - but it will then need more proving time to get the air back).
-
6
Roll the dough out into a rough oval shape about 1cm thick, and place onto an oiled baking tray.
-
7
Make deep holes in the dough about 1 inch apart.
-
8
Allow to rise for 20-30 minutes.
-
9
Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / GM6
-
10
Mix together the remaining oil, garlic and rosemary (leave to sit for a little while to flavour the oil).
-
11
Spread over the surface of the bread, and cover with the chopped onion.
-
12
Sprinkle over the salt, and then flick on some cold water to stop a skin from warming as it cooks.
-
13
Bake for 25 minutes, and then cool on a wire rack.
