Description

Authentic Italian-style flatbread made with 00 flour. Light, tender, and perfect for topping or serving alongside your favorite dishes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups 00 Italian flour (about 250 grams)
  • 3/4 cup warm water (100 – 110°F)
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (plus more for brushing)


Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast : Mix warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl. Let sit 5 – 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Make the Dough : Add flour and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Add olive oil and knead 6 – 8 minutes until smooth and elastic (you can also do this with a stand mixer and dough hook or roller).
  3. Rise : Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1 – 2 hours.
  4. Shape : Divide in half. Roll or stretch into 10″ rounds or ovals, about 1/4″ thick.
  5. Preheat Oven : Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 475°F for 20 – 30 minutes.
  6. Bake : Brush dough with olive oil. Bake 6 – 8 minutes if blind baking (no toppings), or 10 – 12 minutes with toppings until golden.

Notes

  • Sub all-purpose flour if 00 flour is unavailable, but note that the texture and final product will be different.
  • Add garlic oil, herbs, or truffle oil for flavor variations.
