Let's Begin!

Dough

• In a large bowl, add lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir together with a wooden spoon, then set aside for 5 minutes until foamy.
• Add olive oil, flour, and salt. Stir together until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, then knead for 10 minutes until smooth and bouncy. Add more flour as needed.
• Shape the dough into a ball, then transfer in a greased bowl. Coat the top of dough with a little oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 45 minutes until doubled in size.

Let's form and bake!

• Coat a 10-inch iron skillet with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Punch down the dough and press it into the bottom of the pan. Use a sharp knife to score the bread on top in a crisscross pattern.
• Brush the top of the dough with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Then sprinkle with garlic, rosemary, and flaky salt. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for another 20 minutes.
• While waiting for the final proofing, Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Bake the dough for 20-25 minutes until golden brown all over.
• Once done, remove the bread from the pan immediately, then transfer in a cooling rack.
• Drizzle with more olive oil, then serve warm and enjoy with family and friends!
