Description
A fluffy and aromatic Italian flatbread infused with garlic and topped with buttery goodness, perfect for dipping or as a side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Melt the butter in a small pan and add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary. Cook until fragrant.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and spread it onto a greased baking sheet, dimpling the surface with your fingers.
- Cover with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pour the garlic butter over the top and sprinkle with additional herbs and sea salt.
- Bake for around 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
