Method
- Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Step 2: Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Step 3: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Step 4: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Step 5: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Step 6: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Spread the dough out to fit the sheet.
- Step 7: Drizzle the maple syrup over the dough and sprinkle the chopped pecans on top. Gently press the pecans into the dough.
- Step 8: Allow the dough to rest for an additional 20 minutes.
- Step 9: Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the top of the dough.
- Step 10: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
