Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Sea salt flakes (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm water with active dry yeast and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Gradually whisk in all-purpose flour and salt until combined; the dough will be sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- After rising, punch down the dough and fold in minced garlic and chopped rosemary.
- Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet or pan, flatten into an even rectangle, and let rest for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Dimple the surface with your fingers, sprinkle sea salt flakes on top, and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
