1. Mix Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, water, garlic, rosemary, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
2. First Rise:
Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot for 3 hours, or until doubled in size.
3. Punch Down:
Gently deflate the dough. If it's sticky, wet your hands slightly for easier handling.
4. Brush with Olive Oil:
Coat the top of the dough with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
5. Shape the Dough:
Place dough into a flower-shaped silicone baking pan. Gently press to fill the mold evenly.
6. Second Rise:
Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes until slightly puffed.
7. Bake:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped.
8. Cool:
Let cool in the pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
