- Warm water on stove top
- Add Honey, olive oil and vinegar
- Add Flax
- Let sit briefly and then add to mixer bowl
- Beat together (with the attachment you would use for making a cake – not the whisk or the dough hook) while you assemble the dry ingredients.
- In a smallish bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients (from yeast through the 1 tsp kosher salt). Add to the wet ingredients in the mixer.
- Beat for about 2 minutes. The dough will look like brownie batter, not like traditional bread dough.
- Use a spatula to scrape down the sides. Lightly oil pizza pan.
- Oil your fingers, then spread the dough into the pans, stretching a bit and making fingertip indentations.
- Let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. While it is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Sprinkle the risen dough with a little olive oil, a few pinches of kosher salt, and the rosemary. You can really substitute any other herb for the rosemary, or leave it with just the kosher salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes, until it turns golden brown.
