Instructions

Combine warm water, yeast, and honey in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
Tip: If the yeast doesn't foam, it may be expired—start fresh with new yeast.

Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture, then drizzle in olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for 3-4 minutes until smooth.
Tip: Don't overwork the dough; it should be slightly sticky and elastic.

Fold in the chopped cranberries, walnuts, and rosemary until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Tip: Reserve a few walnut pieces to press on top for visual appeal.

Preheat your oven to 220°C. Stretch the dough onto a lightly oiled baking sheet, forming a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
Tip: If the dough springs back, let it rest for 5 minutes before stretching further.
- 5
Dimple the entire surface with your fingertips, creating a rustic texture, and scatter reserved walnuts on top.
Tip: The dimples help the flatbread cook evenly and give it character.

Sprinkle coarse sea salt over the flatbread and bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Tip: The flatbread is ready when it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
