For the Starter:
2 cups lukewarm (115 °F) water
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
1/4 cup all purpose flour
Remaining Dough Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil
The Toppings:
Scallions or chives
fresh rosemary sprigs
grape or cherry tomatoes
Instructions
Make the starter:
Combine all of the starter ingredients into the bowl of a tabletop mixer fitted with the hook attachment. Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or whisk and set aside for 8-10 minutes.
Note:
A puffy cloud will form on the top of the mixture. If this does not happen, throw away the mixture and start with a different batch of yeast. Yeast very rarely goes bad, but when it does, it cannot be used.
Combine the remaining flour and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
Add the flour mixture along with the olive oil to the yeast mixture. Knead on low speed for 10 minutes.
Note:
The dough should remain sticky. If it is dry, knead in about ¼ cup more water. A soft sticky dough will yield a light, airy bread.
Place the dough in an oiled large bowl and cover with plastic. Set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. This usually takes around 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours depending on the temperature.
Punch down the dough and spread it onto a half-sheet baking tray that has been lined with parchment paper.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel and set aside to rise for about 30 minutes.
In the meantime, preheat the oven to 425 °F, 220 °C.
Decorate the top of the bread with your favorite toppings. Sprinkle the top with some salt.
Bake on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with olive oil for dipping and your favorite dips.
Enjoy.

Kai aspro malia! 😉
Looks so delicious.
Can you use a gluten free all purpose flour instead of regular flour?
You can also put the dough in your InstantPot at the Yogourt Fonction for the rise!
Thank you again for another great recipe, I really love this bread and it’s easy as well. Merry Christmas to you and your family Dimitra ❤
