This is so yummy and safe. Something about the combination of sea salt and rosemary is just heavenly.

3 cups white flour
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp rapid-rise dried yeast
1 cup lukewarm water
3 tbsp. olive oil
1 small red onion
leaves from 1-2 large rosemary sprigs
1 tsp coarse sea salt

Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yeast, them make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the water and 2 tbsp of the oil. Mix well, adding a little more water if the mixture seems dry.

Turn the dough on to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size. Punch down and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Roll out the dough to a large cirle, about 1/2 inch think, and transfer to a greased baking sheet. brush with remaining oil.

Halve the onion and slice into thin wedges. sprinkle over the dough with the rosemary and sea salt, pressing in lightly. Cover with plastic wrap, let rise in warm place for 30 minutes. Remove wrap and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden. Serve warm.
