Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water about 110°F
  • ¼ cup olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt for topping

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and ¼ cup olive oil.
  3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  6. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Press it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
  7. Use your fingers to make dimples all over the surface of the dough. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and coarse sea salt.
  8. Let the dough rest for another 20 minutes while the oven heats.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
