Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2.5 cups flour, 1 tsp yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Add 1 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil; stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes until doubled.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 425°F. Punch down dough and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press into a 10x8 inch oval about 1/2 inch thick.
Step 4
Use a knife to cut 3 diagonal slashes through the dough, then gently stretch the slashes open with your fingers to create the classic leaf pattern.
Step 5
Brush the dough with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped rosemary and 1/4 cup sliced almonds, pressing them lightly into the surface.
Step 6
Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving warm.
