Procedure
Heat 1.5 cups water to 105F degrees in microwave.
Add 9 grams of yeast and a tablespoon of flour and mix.
Let stand for 10 minutes, foam should form on top if yeast is alive.
Add flour, salt, and yeast mixture to bowl.
Work with hands until shaggy dough is formed, then add 10g olive oil.
Knead until oil is absorbed completely.
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 20 min.
Dip hands and water to prevent stick, stretch and fold dough 4 times, rotating 90 degrees then wait 30 minutes.
Do this 4 times.
Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil into a pan and coat dough evenly with it.
Work the dough to the edge of the pan, if it doesn’t stretch, let it stand for 10 minutes and return.
Proof dough for an hour.
Add divets to the dough by pressing to the bottom of the pan, making a nice texture.
Add 20g oil and 20g water to a bowl and emulsify.
Pour over-top the bread along with rosemary sprigs, flaked salt, and a good amount of black pepper.
