Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the Dough: Add flour, salt, and olive oil to activated yeast mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the Dough Rise: Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the Oven: While the dough rises, preheat the oven to 425°F and grease a 13×18-inch baking sheet.
  6. Shape the Bread: Punch down the risen dough, transfer to baking sheet, and stretch to fit. Create dimples.
  7. Add Toppings: Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic, Parmesan, rosemary, and coarse sea salt.
  8. Final Rise and Bake: Let rest for 20-30 minutes, then bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool and Slice: Allow to cool slightly, then slice into squares or strips.

Notes

Use water around 110°F to keep yeast alive. Knead gently to avoid tough bread. Let dough rise undisturbed for best texture.
