Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast 1 packet = 2¼ teaspoons
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped

Instructions

  • Add warm water to a bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let sit for 15 minutes. The yeast should become a little foamy.

  • In a large skillet, add 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, and rosemary. Heat to medium low. You aren't trying to brown the garlic, you just want to infuse the flavor. Stir for 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.

  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Use your fingers to add dimples to the dough. Pour flavored olive oil over the top of the dough. You may not need to add all of it - just enough for a light coating.

Notes

  • If you want to keep the topping simple, just use plain olive oil and a sprinkle of salt.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • You can keep the dough in the fridge for up to 3 days before adding to the 9x13 pan.
