Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling
Topping
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet.
  3. Stretch the dough to fit the baking sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.
  4. In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. Brush this mixture over the dough.
  5. Sprinkle shredded parmesan cheese, sea salt, and black pepper on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
