- In a large measuring cup, combine the yeast, sugar, and ½ cup water; stir to dissolve.
- Let stand for 10 minutes, or until the yeast mixture forms a frothy head.
- Stir in the remaining ½ cup water, and the oil.
- In the food processor bowl, combine the flours, zest, rosemary, and sea salt; pulse to combine.
- With the motor running, add the yeast mixture through the feed tube in a steady stream; take about 10 seconds to pour it all in.
- Process for 10 seconds more, by which time the dough should form a rough mass on the stem.
If the dough is too wet and forms a mass right away, remove the cover, and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of bread flour on the dough.
If the dough is too dry and has not formed a ball on the stem within 15 seconds, sprinkle with 1 to 2 teaspoons of water. - Process for 10 seconds more.
- Let stand with the cover, and rest for 20 minutes.
- Generously oil a rimmed baking sheet.
- Begin stretching, pushing, and pulling the dough with your fingertips and the heel of your hand into a 8-by-12-inch rectangle.
This will take a little while—the dough will be tight at first, so give it a chance to relax. - Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, and brush the top with oil.
- Cover with a plastic bag, and allow to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 45 minutes, or until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F; ensure a rack is in the middle.
- Transfer the dough to an unfloured cutting board, and cut it crosswise into four equal sections.
- Cut each section crosswise into eight little strips, and roll each one under the palm of your hands into a thin rope about 12 inches long.
- Transfer to the oiled baking sheet, forming curlicues, if desired.
- Beat the egg with a pinch of salt, and brush. Sprinkle with pink salt.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until slightly golden.
Do this in batches, if necessary, keeping the unrolled strips covered, and rolling them out just before baking. - Serve warm with a little dish of your best extra-virgin olive oil.
