Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1¾ cups warm water
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, kosher salt, and olive oil to the bowl; mix until a sticky dough forms. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours.
- Once risen, pour oil into a baking pan and transfer the dough.
- Create dimples in the dough with your fingertips and sprinkle garlic, Parmesan, and optional herbs on top.
- Let rise for another 20–30 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Aim for a tacky, not dry, dough; it should cling lightly to your fingers. Rotate the pan mid-bake for even results.
