1. 1
   In a bowl, combine the bread flour, dry yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until you get a wet, sticky dough — no kneading needed.
   ▶ ≈1:34
2. 2
   Let the dough rest and rise until it expands in volume and develops bubbles, forming a moist, elastic high-hydration dough.
   ▶ ≈3:18
3. 3
   Coat a frying pan with olive oil, then gently transfer the risen dough into the pan and lightly stretch it out to fill the pan.
   ▶ ≈3:54
4. 4
   Sprinkle salt and drizzle olive oil over the surface of the dough, then top with black olives, cherry tomatoes, and rosemary as desired.
   ▶ ≈4:42
5. 5
   Cover the pan and cook the dough over low heat, adding a little hot water partway through to create steam. Cook until the surface turns golden and crisp and the inside is fully cooked and fluffy.
