Method

1
Mix flour, yeast and most of the water and mix.
2
Don't add all the water at once as you may not need it all, it will depend on your flour, adding a little more if needed. The texture you are looking for is a very soft dough.
3
Add salt and oil and mix again.
4
Cover with plastic film and allow to rise for 10-12 hours or until it's more than doubled in size and very bubbly (in a warmer climate this will take less time).
5
Preheat oven to 220°C.
6
Using oiled hands, gently lift the dough (it will be sticky) out of the bowl and spread it onto an oiled oven tray (or a lined one with baking paper). Prove for a further 15 minutes in a warm spot.
7
Drizzle the top with oil, create dimples with your fingers and season with salt flakes.
8
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.

...And that's it, enjoy!
