  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the yeast, warm water, and sugar. Let it sit until foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Pour in olive oil and knead until smooth and slightly sticky.
  4. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until doubled.
  5. Transfer the dough to an oiled baking pan and poke dimples all over with your fingers.
  6. Drizzle more olive oil, spread minced garlic, and sprinkle Parmesan and herbs on top.
  7. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 23-27 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Cool slightly, slice, and enjoy warm.

Notes

For a deeper garlic flavor, sauté minced garlic in olive oil before spreading on the dough. Store any leftovers sealed for freshness, and use stale focaccia for croutons.
