Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for greasing
Topping
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt for sprinkling

Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape and Bake
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch it out to fit the sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, and black pepper.
  4. Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the dough.
  5. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Serve
  1. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
  2. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
