Recipe tip
For homemade pasta: Use 100g very strong white Canadian flour and 1 medium egg for each generous serving. See our website for a full recipe.
Method
1. Firstly make the overnight mix (biga). Mix 160g flour, 1g yeast and 90ml water into a bowl. Mix the ingredients together to form a rough dough. Place in a small container with a lid and leave overnight (12 hours).
2. The next day, put the remaining 500g flour and 6g yeast, the overnight mix (biga), salt, and herbs, in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the olive oil and water. Bring the ingredients together to form a dough.
3. Tip the dough onto a table and knead for 8-10 mins. You can also use a mixer if preferred.
4. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover with a damp tea towel. Rest in a warm place until the dough doubles in size. This will take approximately 1 hour.
5. Tip the dough into the roasting tin. Knock the dough down, so it is evenly flat and covers the base of the roasting tray. Cover (as before) and leave to rest for 40-50 mins.
6. Dimple the dough by firmly pressing your fingertips into the dough. Push small sprigs of rosemary into the dimples, then cover and rest for another 15 mins.
7. Heat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas 9. Drizzle the olive oil over the risen dough, and sprinkle with salt, then bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
8. Turn out onto a wire rack. Best eaten warm.
