Ingredients

  • 500 g 3 ¼ cups bread flour (or use all-purpose flour)
  • 15 g 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 8 g 1 teaspoon active dry yeast (or use 4 grams instant yeast)
  • 400 g 2 cups minus 1 tablespoon water (if using all-purpose flour, reduce water to 350 grams or 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
  • ¼ cup pine nuts roughly chopped (or place in a plastic bag and pound lightly with a mallet or rolling pin)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 ½ teaspoons dried rosemary
  • Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
  • Other topping ideas: Sliced sweet onion sliced garlic cloves, olives, sun dried tomatoes

Instructions

  • Combine flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl, using a whisk. Use a large bowl, because the dough will expand to about 4 times its original size.
  • Slowly pour in the water, and mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until all the flour is moistened and the dough starts to come together.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, then a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Using floured hands, pinch the dough together in the middle several times until it forms a ball.
  • Oil a 10-inch cast iron skillet with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil. Place the ball of dough in the pan, and using oiled hands, press and stretch the dough until it almost reaches the edges of the skillet.
  • Cover the skillet with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise a second time for 2 hours.
  • During the last half hour of the second rise, position an oven rack one slot below the middle of the oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • After the dough has risen for a second time, use oiled fingers to pop the big bubbles in the dough. Keep popping as large bubbles arise.
  • Sprinkle the dough with pine nuts and rosemary, and press down lightly with your hands so the toppings stick to the dough. Drizzle with remaining olive oil. Sprinkle with a few pinches of sea salt.
  • Bake 22-26 minutes, until browned and crispy on the outside. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
