Sift flour into a large bowl and make a well in the center. Dissolve yeast and sugar in 3/8 liter lukewarm water and pour into the well. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes. Stir in 3 tablespoons of olive oil and salt and knead the dough thoroughly (takes about 10 minutes). Cover and let rise again, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 220°C. Divide the dough in half and roll out into thick flatbreads. Place these on floured baking sheets. Use your fingers to make indentations in the surface. Cover again and let rise for another half hour. Brush with the remaining oil and then sprinkle with rosemary sprigs or dried thyme, if desired. Bake on the middle rack for about 15-20 minutes (fan oven 200°C).
