Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup warm water (I heat mine to about 90 degrees)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
  • 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • olive oil for drizzling (if desired)
  • sea salt for topping (if desired)
  • extra parmesan cheese for topping (if desired)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grease a cast iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, set aside.
  • Add the water, sugar, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough attachment. Stir to combine. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes or until it becomes foamy.
  • Add in flour, salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Mix until the dough begins to pull away from the sides and forms a sticky ball. If it is not pulling from the sides add a bit more flour (a tablespoon at a time).
  • Lightly flour your hands and form the dough into a ball. Place in the skillet and spread to cover the entire skillet.
  • Turn off the oven and place the skillet in the oven for 20 minutes to rise. Remove the skillet from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Meanwhile combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, parmesan, garlic powder and rosemary.
  • Brush the mixture on top of the bread. Using your fingertips make indents over the top of the dough.
  • Place back in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and parmesan cheese for topping, if desired.
