1. Mix the flour, yeast, salt and water in a bowl until a dough starts to form, then add in the olive oil. Turn the dough out onto a clean worksurface. Knead until smooth and silky, this can take up to 10 minutes. The dough should gently spring back when pressed.
2. Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough in it, cover the bowl with clingfilm or a clean tea towel. Leave it in warm place until it has risen to double in size. This can take 45 minutes.
3. When doubled in size, turn onto the worksurface and gently press into a rustic rectangle or individual rolls. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray. Re-cover and set aside in a warm place for 15 - 20 minutes to rise.
4. Pre-heat an oven to 220 C
5. Once ready to bake, toss the rocket in a little olive oil and press it into the dough making thumb marks all over the dough. Sprinkle over your selection of herbs and sea salt.
6. Place the baking tray in the centre of the pre-heated oven and cook the bread for 10 minutes, Then turn the oven temperature down to 190 C and leave the bread to cook for a further 10 - 15 minutes until risen and golden brown.
7. Cool on a wire rack then wrap for your moveable feast!
