Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour

2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) instant yeast

1½ teaspoons salt

1½ cups warm water (about 110°F)

1 tablespoon sugar

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing

3–4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs or chopped rosemary (optional)

Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt, mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead with a mixer for 5–6 minutes or by hand for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Coat dough with olive oil, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled.
  5. Grease a 9×13-inch pan with olive oil. Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil with minced garlic for 1 minute; set aside.
  6. Transfer dough to the pan, press into corners. Let rest 10 minutes if needed. Cover and let rise 30–45 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Dimple dough, brush with garlic oil, sprinkle Parmesan, herbs, and flaky salt.
  8. Bake 20–25 minutes until golden and crisp.
  9. Cool 5–10 minutes in pan, then transfer to wire rack. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Store at room temperature up to 2 days, in fridge up to 4 days, or freeze for 2 months.
  • Reheat in 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes or toast slices individually.
  • Can use Pecorino or Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan.
  • Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated after first rise.
  • Use generous olive oil for crispier edges.
