Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the Dough & First Rise:
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, then mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Step 2
Shape & Second Rise:
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil and stretch the dough into a rectangle or oval about 2 cm (3/4 inch) thick.
Let it rest for 20-30 minutes while preparing the toppings.
Step 3
Add Toppings:
In a small bowl, mix minced garlic, rosemary, and olive oil.
Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough, then drizzle with olive oil and spread the garlic-rosemary mixture over the surface.
Sprinkle with Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and flaky salt.
Step 4
Bake & Serve:
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm with extra olive oil for dipping!
