Ingredients
Scale
- 500g strong bread flour
- 350ml warm water

- 10g salt
- 50ml olive oil, plus extra for greasing
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

- Transfer the dough to the pan and gently stretch it to fill the pan.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rest for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Dimple the surface of the dough with your fingertips. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Scatter the minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme over the dough. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese with the herbs.
- Experiment with different herbs like basil, oregano, or sage.
