Method
Tap a time to watch that step in the video.
- Put the kettle on. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, psyllium powder, ground flaxseed, baking powder, baking soda, instant yeast and salt and mix well. 2:48
- Stir the vinegar into 2 cups of freshly boiled water. 4:04
- Make a well in the dry mix, pour in the 4 tbsp olive oil, then add the hot vinegar water a little at a time, mixing and then kneading (about 10 minutes) until the dough is soft, moist and slightly bouncy — you may not need it all. 4:40
- Shape the dough into a rough ball, return it to the bowl, cover with a damp tea towel and rest 1 hour. It won't rise, but it relaxes and bakes lighter. 6:24
- Line a shallow oven-safe dish with baking paper, drizzle in plenty of olive oil, then press and spread the dough evenly into it, pinching any gaps closed. 7:07
- Press dimples all over with your fingertips, drizzle generously with olive oil and spread it over, then scatter rosemary leaves and flaky salt and stick a few sprigs in. 8:02
- Bake at 170 °C (350 °F) for 50–60 minutes until golden brown, then drizzle with a little more olive oil if you like. 9:16
Tip. Serves 4 as the cook suggests (a quarter is filling). Coconut flour soaks up a lot of liquid, so knead well and add water slowly. To make it bigger, spread it wider, not thicker, so the centre cooks through.

Omega-3 High37%
0.6 g a serve, mostly from ground flaxseeds (68%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.
Vitamin E High24%
3.6 mg a serve, mostly from olive oil (55%). An antioxidant that protects cell membranes. Nuts, seeds and plant oils such as olive oil are the main sources.

Iron7%
1.3 mg a serve, mostly from coconut flour (62%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Calcium2%
20 mg a serve, mostly from psyllium husk powder (30%). Builds bones and teeth and helps muscles and nerves work. Dairy, calcium-set tofu, sardines with their bones and some greens supply it.
Vitamin A0%
0.2 µg a serve, mostly from fresh rosemary leaves (100%). Keeps eyes, skin and the immune system healthy. Orange vegetables and dark greens give beta-carotene, which the body turns into vitamin A.
Vitamin C0%
0 mg a serve, mostly from ground flaxseeds (57%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.
Vitamin D0%
0 µg a serve. Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
Vitamin B120%
0 µg a serve, mostly from instant yeast (100%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.
