Chef's notes
This is quite a wet dough, but do not be tempted to use much flour when kneading. Flour your hands rather than the worksurface and you will find that it sticks less and less as you knead. It is the garlic powder which causes the very dark crust. It does not taste burnt at all and in fact is slightly sweet.
