Place flour into a large bowl, add salt and mix together using a fork.
In a mixing bowl, combine dry yeast and lukewarm water. Let the water mixture rest for a minute or two.
Using your fork, form a well in the middle of the flour. Slowly pour in the yeasted water, mixing with the fork at the same time. Continue this process until a ball of dough is formed.
Flour a clean surface and place the ball of dough on top of the floured surface. Sprinkle extra flour on top and start working your dough.
You will need to let the dough rest for about five to seven minutes until a soft and silky ball of dough is formed. Place the ball of dough in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Add in fresh garlic and rosemary as desired.
Place the bowl in a dark, warm place for four hours to allow the dough to rise. When the dough is done rising, preheat your oven to 550 degrees.
Place the dough on a cookie sheet and spread it out to cover the entire sheet. Using two fingers, poke little wells into the dough side by side (note: watch the video for a demonstration of this).
Drizzle the dough with extra olive oil and sprinkle with extra sea salt. Add a few sprinkled flakes of rosemary over the top if desired. Place the cookie sheet in the oven and bake for about 12 minutes. Remove the bread and serve immediately. Enjoy.
