Add 3 cups all-purpose flour into a large bowl, along with 1 tbsp baking powder and 3/4 tsp sea salt, mix the dry ingredients together, then make a well in the flour, add in 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 cup water, mix together until you form a dough, then get in there with your fist and push down on the dough and then fold together, continue to do this until you end up with a smooth dough (should take about 1 minute), then shape it into a ball
Sprinkle some all-purpose flour on a clean flat surface, add the ball of dough on top, cut into 2 evenly sized pieces and shape each one into a ball, cut each ball into 6 evenly sized pieces, for a total of 12 pieces of dough, then shape each one into a ball
Add 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil into a small bowl, along with 1 tsp sweet smoked Spanish paprika, whisk together until well mixed
Grease a round 8-inch (20 cm) baking pan with some of the olive oil & paprika mixture, then add in the balls of dough, all in a single layer and tightly packed together, then brush the remaining olive oil & paprika mixture over the pieces of dough, making sure to coat the entire top surface of the doughs, then sprinkle with some coarse sea salt on top
Add into a preheated oven, bake only option (bottom heat), 210 C -410 F
After 22 to 23 minutes the biscuits should be perfectly cooked, you can always pierce them with a toothpick, if it comes out cleanly, they are ready, remove from the oven
Transfer into a bread basket and serve, enjoy!
