As seen in Episode Three on Silvia's Italian Masterclass on Network Ten
Ingredients
500g type ‘00’ flour
1 tsp bicarb soda
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
100 ml white wine
200 ml sparkling water
2 tbsp salt flakes
Serve with chunks of pecorino, salami, and cheese
Method
Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced). Grease a 30cm round baking tin, 2cm deep.
Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the olive oil, and wine. Mix in the bicarb soda, salt, and water and mix with a wooden spoon to encourage the dough to come together.
Tip onto a floured bench and knead for a few minutes until smooth, then flatten it out with rolling pin to a thickness of about 2 cm. Place the dough onto the baking tray and flatten it to cover the tray. Score it with a serrated knife to create a criss-cross pattern. Using a brush, paint the surface with extra-virgin olive oil, season with salt, then bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden.
