Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1/2 cups white flour
• 2 tsp yeast
• 1 tsp table salt
• 5 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tbsp mixed herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram)
• 1 tbsp rosemary leaves
• sea salt
• Mix together the flours, salt, yeast and mixed herbs.
• Add 3 tbsp of the olive oil and the warm water. Stir together until it's too hard to work with a spoon, then knead with your hands until it's all elastic. The dough will be moist.
• Let it rise an hour or more, then punch it down and shape it into a rectangle. Place it on a baking sheet with about a teaspoon of oil rubbed over it. Let it rest about half an hour.
• Stretch the dough out to the edges. Let it rest another half hour. Preheat oven to 425F/220C.
