Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
Coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
Freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese or chili flakes
Instructions
In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
Stir in flour, salt, olive oil, garlic, and chopped rosemary. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled.
Press dough into an oiled 9×13-inch pan. Use fingers to create dimples all over the surface.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with rosemary, sea salt, black pepper, and optional toppings.
Let rise another 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.
