Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast; let sit until frothy (about 5 minutes). Stir in olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in flour until a soft dough forms.
- 2. Knead: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- 3. First Rise: Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 4. Shape: Punch down the risen dough, stretch it into an oiled baking pan, and dimple the surface with your fingers.
- 5. Top It Off: Evenly sprinkle minced garlic and grated parmesan on top; drizzle with olive oil.
- 6. Second Rise: Cover again with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 7. Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
