Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • Extra olive oil for the pan and drizzling on the top.
  • Seasonings of choice for sprinkling see note

Method
 

  1. Grease a 13x9 pan and pour some olive oil (about 2 tbsp) into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  2. Add the flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and warm water the the bowl of a stand mixer.
  3. Mix on high for 1 minute.
  4. Press the dough into the pan. The dough will be very sticky, that's OK. If it doesn't press all the way to the edges, that's OK too.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise somewhere warm for 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 375'F
  7. After 1 hour the dough should have risen to double (or more) of its original size. Remove the covering and poke the dough all over with your finger or the end of a wooden spoon.
  8. Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of seasonings.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when it's tapped.

Notes

Use your imagination to decide on toppings.
-A classic is Italian seasoning blend, sea salt, and pepper.
