Ingredients

• 400 grams Whole-wheat flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 5 grams Salt
• 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary sprigs
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, thinly sliced
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 50 grams Black olives, pitted and sliced

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole-wheat flour and instant yeast.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 40 milliliters of olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a rough dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, generously oil a baking sheet using approximately 10 milliliters of olive oil.

Step 7

Gently deflate the dough and stretch it out onto the prepared baking sheet, using your fingers to press it into a rectangular shape about 1.5 cm thick.

Step 8

Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the surface of the dough.

Step 9

Scatter the rosemary sprigs, thinly sliced garlic, cherry tomato halves, and black olive slices evenly over the dough.

Step 10

Sprinkle the salt over the toppings.

Step 11

Allow the dressed dough to rest for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the schiacciata is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature, sliced into squares.
