Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, etc.)
  • Coarse sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add olive oil, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

  5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  6. Once risen, punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet.
  7. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh herbs and coarse sea salt.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, you can mix in olives or sun-dried tomatoes into the dough.
  • Serve warm with a side of balsamic vinegar for dipping.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled for larger gatherings.
