Roman Pizza Bianca is a delicious Italian flatbread topped with olive oil, rosemary and salt. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ingredients

  • Coarse sea salt - To taste
  • Fresh rosemary - 2 tablespoons, chopped
  • Olive oil - 1/4 cup
  • Salt - 2 teaspoons
  • All - purpose flour - 4 cups
  • Sugar - 1 teaspoon
  • Active dry yeast - 1 packet
  • Warm water - 1 1/2 cups

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  2. Add the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, until it has doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into two pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  7. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or heated pizza stone. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, then sprinkle with the rosemary and coarse sea salt.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden and crispy.
