Put the flour into a large bowl and stir in the salt and yeast.Make a well in the centre and pour in 3 tbsp of olive oil and tepid water.Gradually mix the flour into the oil and water,using a wooden spoon at first,then by hand,to make a soft,slightly dough.Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 mins,or until smooth and elastic.Roll the dough(or push it out with your hands)onto a greased baking paper and put it onto a baking try (25x40cm),then cover loosely with a clean tea-towel and leave in a warm place for about 45 mins or until dough has double in thickness.
Preheat the oven at 230C.
Pour a little warm water into a cup ,then dip your finger into the water and press into the risen dough to make deep dents all over the top.
