Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1.5 cups Warm Water
  • 3 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1.25 teaspoons Salt
  • 3.5 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Instant Yeast or Active Dry Yeast

Topping Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt Flakes or Kosher Salt
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Rosemary, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Oregano, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a 9" x 13" baking pan to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the dough ingredients and beat with an electric mixer for 60 seconds until a soft, sticky dough forms.
  • Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Cover the pan to let it rise for 60 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Gently dimple the dough with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt, minced garlic, rosemary, and oregano.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
  • Use fresh herbs for the best impact, and avoid overworking the dough for an airy texture.
