- Ingredients
- ¾ oz Yeast (OR 6 g dried yeast)
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp Sea salt
- 4 Tbsps olive oil
- all-purpose flour (for the work surface)
- ½ tsp Anise seed
- ½ cup Pine nuts (chopped)
- olive oil (for brushing)
Preparation steps
1.
Stir the yeast into approx. 200 ml lukewarm water. Mix the flour with the salt in a bowl. Add the yeast solution and the olive oil and knead to a smooth dough using the dough hooks on an electric mixer so that it comes away from the edge of the bowl. If necessary, vary the amount of water a little. Cover and leave in a warm place for around 45 minutes until it doubles in volume.
2.
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C in a fan oven), 425°F, gas 7 and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
3.
Thoroughly knead the dough again on a floured work surface, incorporating the anise and pine nuts in the process. Flatten to a large oval (approx. 2 cm thick) and place on the baking tray.
4.
Lightly score the surface with a diamond, rhombus or hash sign. Brush with olive oil and bake in the oven for approx. 35 minutes until golden brown.
