Ingredients

Scale
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ cups warm water (100–110°F)
  • 2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)
  • Fresh rosemary or preferred herbs (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large bowl. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
  • Stir in flour and salt, then mix until dough forms. Add olive oil and knead lightly until the dough is cohesive but sticky.
  • Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1–2 hours until doubled.
  • Transfer dough to an oiled 9×13-inch baking pan. Gently stretch to fill the pan. Let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Dimple the dough using your fingers and drizzle with more olive oil. Add toppings if desired.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown and crisp on top.
  • Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the dough ferment in the fridge overnight. Experiment with toppings like roasted garlic, tomatoes, or caramelized onions. Serve warm for best results.
