Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well, pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil, then mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour until puffy.
- Generously oil a baking sheet. Transfer the risen dough onto the baking sheet and stretch it into a rectangle.
- Press down into the dough with your fingertips to create dimples. Drizzle more olive oil over the top.
- Sprinkle sea salt over the dimples and add desired toppings like fresh herbs or garlic.
- Cover loosely with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
