Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 3 tbsp olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix warm water, 1 tbsp olive oil, and instant yeast. Stir in flour and salt until a soft dough forms.
- Shape dough into a ball, lightly coat with olive oil, place in a bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Generously oil a baking dish or sheet pan. Gently press the dough into the pan and dimple it with your fingertips.
- In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Drizzle over the dough.
- Sprinkle a generous layer of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Optional: Let the topped dough rise for another 20 minutes for a lighter texture.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Brush with more olive oil and sprinkle additional cheese or fresh rosemary if desired. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Use plenty of olive oil for a crispy bottom crust.
- Try mozzarella or Asiago cheese for variation.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Finish with garlic butter for a richer flavor.
