- Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and water and knead for ten minutes on a floured work surface.
- Incorporate the chosen garnish to the dough. Roll the dough in order to keep the garnish inside and knead it for a few minutes. Don't knead it too much as the chocolate may melt in your hands.
- Put the dough balls in a large bowl that was oiled prior to this and let the dough expand for 90 minutes. The dough will double in volume.
- Preheat oven at 400°F.
- Spread the dough on a cooking plate covered with parchment paper and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with either fleur de sel or sugar, depending on your chosen garnish and bake for about 20 minutes or until the dough is golden and baked.
