  • 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil, plus extra to drizzle
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 200g white spelt flour
  • 220g tipo 00 flour (substitute plain flour)

  • 1/2 cup (50g) coarsely grated mozzarella
  • 3 rosemary sprigs
  • 6 marinated artichokes hearts
  • 3/4 cup (120g) mixed pitted marinated olives

Method

  • 1.
    To make the dough, combine yeast, oil, sugar and 3/4 cup (180ml) lukewarm water in a bowl. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes or until frothy. Combine flours and 2 tsp salt flakes in a bowl. Add yeast mixture, stirring until combined. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Transfer to a floured bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and stand in a warm place for 20 minutes to rise slightly.
  • 2.
    Transfer dough to a floured work surface and stretch into a rectangle. Fold one short edge into the middle, then fold over other edge to cover the first fold. Form into a ball and return to floured bowl. Cover and stand for a further 1 hour 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • 3.
    Meanwhile, preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray and line with baking paper.
  • 4.
    Place dough on prepared tray and press into a 20cm x 30cm rectangle. Cover with a clean tea towel and stand in a warm place for 20 minutes or until risen slightly.
  • 5.
    With oiled hands, create dimples in dough. Scatter with cheeses and top with rosemary, artichokes and olives. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and puffy.
  • 6.
    Serve warm or at room temperature, cut into squares or wedges drizzled with extra oil and scattered with extra pecorino.
