Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 2 tbsp fresh rosemary or thyme (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm water and sugar in a small bowl. Add the yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour.
  4. Once risen, gently press down the dough to release air bubbles. Fold in blackberries and herbs.
  5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread dough onto an oiled baking sheet, dimple with fingers, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Nutrition

Keywords: Customize by swapping blackberries with seasonal fruits or adding cheese like feta. Ensure your water is warm but not hot when activating yeast to avoid killing it. Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in the oven to regain crispness.
