  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary or thyme

Instructions

  1. Combine warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl; let sit until bubbly.
  2. Mix in flour and sea salt until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Transfer dough to a floured surface; knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the risen dough; stretch it onto an oiled baking sheet, creating dimples with your fingers.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle fresh herbs, and flaky sea salt on top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and let the dough rest for another 20 minutes.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • For added flavor, experiment with toppings like roasted garlic or sun-dried tomatoes.
  •  Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days; reheat at 350°F (175°C) for crispy texture.
