Description
A golden, airy Italian-style flatbread that’s soft inside and crisp on top, richly infused with garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan—perfect for dipping, serving with soup, or enjoying on its own.
Ingredients
3 cups (≈ 360 g) all‑purpose flour
2¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 tbsp dry minced garlic
1½ cups warm water
¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for grease and topping
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley (or Italian seasoning)
Optional: a pinch of flaky sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, and garlic.
Stir in the warm water and ¼ cup olive oil until a rough dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 30–45 minutes).
Generously grease a 9×13‑inch baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the risen dough into the dish and gently press it out to cover the bottom.
Using your fingertips, create deep dimples all over the dough. Drizzle with a tablespoon or more of olive oil. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan, parsley, and extra salt evenly across the top.
Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C). Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm—fantastic alongside soups, salads, or as a flavorful snack on its own.
