Ingredients

500g strong white bread flour

2tsp easy-bake yeast

4tbsp olive oil, plus extra for greasing

15 cherry tomatoes, halved

9-12 cloves garlic

12 sprigs rosemary

Method

1
Sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the yeast. Make a well in the centre and add 3tbsp of the oil and 300ml warm water. Mix to a soft dough with a wooden spoon.
2
Turn out onto an oiled work surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3
Put in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled clingfilm. Leave in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4
Line a large baking tray with baking paper and put the dough on it. Using the heel of your hand, gently flatten and push out to a circle about 30cm diameter.
5
Cover with oiled clingfilm and leave for 30-45 mins until doubled in size.
6
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Using your fingers, make dimples in the dough. Gently push the cherry tomatoes and garlic into the dimples and top with rosemary. Drizzle with the remaining oil.
7
Bake for 30 mins or until golden and the base sounds hollow when tapped. Serve warm or cold.
