Flat Bread

3 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
2/3 cup olive oil plus more for brushing
Sea Salt
Sun dried tomatoes and other herbs of choice

Preheat oven to 450°F with a heavy baking sheet on rack in middle.

Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flour with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead dough gently on a work surface 4 or 5 times.

Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll out 1 piece (keep remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap)  transfer to oiled baking sheet.

Lightly brush top with additional oil. Sprinkle with sea salt. Slide round onto preheated baking sheet and bake until pale golden and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.

This makes a double recipe as we always run out of flat bread before we run out of humus.
