- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- ⅓ cup (75 g) olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon for topping
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 2½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to bloom.
- In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, and half of the salt.
- Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil aside.
- Add the flour to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
- Add the dough to a greased bowl and cover with a clean tea towel. Rest for 1 hour in a warm place, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Pour the remaining oil mixture into a 9x11-inch baking dish. Use a pastry brush to coat the bottom of the dish.
- Transfer the risen dough to the prepared baking dish. Work the dough to the edges and use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
- Brush the top of the dough with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle the remaining sea salt. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
