Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour

2¼ teaspoons instant yeast

1½ teaspoons salt

1½ cups warm water

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

3–4 cloves garlic

minced

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or chopped rosemary

Flaky sea salt

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Once the dough has risen, punch it down and spread it out on a greased baking sheet.
Dimple the surface with your fingers, then top with minced garlic, grated Parmesan, herbs, and flaky sea salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

For added flavor, feel free to experiment with different herbs or cheeses as toppings. This bread is best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
