Mix the flour, yeast (this can be obtained for free from your local suppermarket's bakery department), and water in a large bowl (or for ease a bread machine on basic dough setting works well).
Tip out onto a floured work top and knead the dough for 15 minutes until soft and elastic.
Add the salt and continue to knead for a further 5 minutes.
Place the dough ball in an oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Leave for 1 hour so as the dough rises.
Knock back and divide into two. Oil two 9inch circular tins and mould the dough to fit the tin. Push your fingers into the dough so that the oil from below comes through.
Leave for a further 20 minutes.
Preheat an oven to 200 celsius. When heated Place the tins in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes remove and add the chopped garlic, push the rosemary sprigs into the bread, season well with sea salt and fresh ground black pepper and drizzle with oil. Bake for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
