Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1¾ cups warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced

- Proof the yeast: Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl; sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.

- Add toppings: Sprinkle minced garlic and grated Parmesan over the dimples.
- Second rise: Cover and let rise again for 20–30 minutes while preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).

- Cool and serve: Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing; drizzle with olive oil if desired.
