Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1¾ cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil (plus more for greasing)
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: Fresh rosemary or thyme, flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Proof the yeast by combining warm water and sugar in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in flour, kosher salt, and olive oil until mixed into a sticky dough. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours until doubled in size.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a baking pan with olive oil. Transfer the risen dough to the pan, stretch it out gently, then dimple the surface with your fingertips.
  4. Evenly distribute minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and optional fresh herbs on top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
  5. Let the dough rise again for another 20–30 minutes before baking for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
