Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix 2.5 cups flour, 1 tsp instant yeast, and 1 tsp salt. Make a well and pour in 1 cup warm water and 2 tbsp olive oil.

  2. 2

    Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, until doubled.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Press dough into a 9x13 inch baking pan, dimple deeply with your fingers. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and press 4 sliced garlic cloves into the dimples.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle with 0.5 tsp flaky sea salt. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Cool 5 minutes before slicing.

  6. 6

    Brush with remaining olive oil and serve warm.
