Consistency

Mix until the dough is consistent and has a good stretch to it.

The dough should come together and form a ball.

If it feels sticky you can add more flour.
Add it gradually and continue mixing and test again.

Growing

Place the dough on a container with oil on the bottom.
Roll the dough on the oil.
Cover and let it grow for at leas an hour.

Place it on a baking sheet, with oil on the bottom.
Make dimples on the dough with your fingers.
Let it grow for another  30 min.

Add your "topping"
Olive oil, chopped garlic and chopped rosemary. Try to have the oil fill all the dimples.
