Step 1

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Create a well and add the water. Mix well to make sure there are no dry bits. Cover and rest for 15 mins.

Step 2

After 15 mins. Do 8 stretch and folds turning the bowl 90° each time. Let rest for another 15 mins and do another set of stretch and folds.

Step 3

After the two sets of stretch and folds, let rest at room temperature for 1 - 1.5 hours. The dough should of grown exponentially.

Step 4

Line a baking dish with baking paper. Do a few flip and folds in the bowl before transferring to the baking dish. Cover and let rest for another 1 - 1.5 hours at room temp.

Step 5

Whilst the dough is resting in the dish, preheat oven to 200°C, peel the garlic, add the cloves to a ramekin and cover them with olive oil. Cover the ramekin with tin foil and roast for 40mins

Step 6

Take the garlic out to let cool slightly and turn the oven up to 220°C. Once the bread has finished proofing, oil your fingers using the garlic oil and dimple the dough to help spread it out before topping it with desired ingredients.

Bake at 220°C for 25-30 mins or until sufficiently browned for your liking
