For the Dough

  • 1/4 cup olive oil Adds moisture and richness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. 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.
  3. Cover the bowl with a towel and place in a warm area. Allow the dough to rise for about 1 hour until puffy.
  4. Generously oil a baking sheet. Transfer the risen dough onto the baking sheet and stretch it into a rectangle.
  5. Press down into the dough with your fingertips to create dimples. Drizzle more olive oil over the top.
  6. Sprinkle sea salt over the dimples and add desired toppings like fresh herbs or garlic.
  7. Cover loosely with a towel and let rest for 20 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
