| Preheat the oven to 350. |
| Measure out three
slightly rounded serving spoonfuls of flour, and form in a crater shape
in a bowl. |
| Next measure out one
serving spoonful of olive oil and dump it into the crater. |
| Measure out two
serving spoonfuls full of water and dump it into the crater also. |
| Stir all three
ingredients together until you form a ball of dough.
| It should be at
the right consistency for you to knead in your hands,
until it is about the size of a small baseball or large golf ball. |
|
| Flour the surface of
the counter top or cutting board you are going to work on. |
| The next step is to
pat the dough out flat into a disk shape -- it will be about 3 to 4 inches
around. |
| Use a glass or a
rolling pin to flatten it to an even thickness, approximately 3/8 of an
inch thick. Then take a large tumbler and cut it out like you would a
cookie cutter. |
| Using the
remaining flour which was on the counter, flour a round cake tin and
place the loaf on the pile of flour in the pan to prevent it from
burning in the oven. Bake 18 minutes at 350.
| When it comes out
of the oven, dust off the excess flour with a soft brush and cover
with a paper towel. |
| It may have a
large air bubble from the baking. To eliminate this, place a
flat heavy object on it for a few minutes -- it will flatten
as it cools. |
| Ovens vary in
heat and the size of spoons may vary, but if one keeps the
proportions the same the loaf should come out the same every time
you make it.
