Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Wet Ingredients
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3/4 cup water
  • Fresh rosemary leaves for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Stir the minced garlic into the dry mixture, then pour in the olive oil and mix until crumbly.
  4. Gradually add the water and stir until a cohesive dough forms. If too sticky, add a little more flour.
  5. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Gently flatten the dough to fit the skillet, about 1-inch thick.
Cooking
  1. Place the flattened dough in the hot skillet. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
  2. Flip the bread using a spatula and cook uncovered for an additional 5-8 minutes until the other side is golden.
Serving
  1. Garnish with fresh rosemary leaves, slice, and enjoy while warm.

Notes

For a heartier bread, use whole wheat flour. Preheat the skillet adequately to ensure a good crust, and avoid over-kneading to maintain a tender texture. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature, a week in the refrigerator, or 2 months in the freezer. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes.
