Olive bread

Pour the lukewarm water into a bowl and add the olive oil. Add the yeast and stir until dissolved. Add the salt and flour to the bowl and knead with a mixer (dough hook) until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise for about 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead again by hand on a floured surface. Pick the rosemary needles and add them to the dough along with the pine nuts and knead in. Line a baking sheet with baking paper. Form the dough into two balls and press the balls into flatbreads on the sheet. Cover the flatbreads with a cloth and let them rise for another 50-60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C (top/bottom heat). Use your finger to make holes in each flatbread. Bake the flatbreads for about 12-15 minutes, then remove from the oven and immediately brush with olive oil.
