Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, combine warm water with honey or sugar. Stir until dissolved, then sprinkle yeast over the water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Once yeast mixture is frothy, pour into the bowl with olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-3 hours, until doubled in size.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add minced garlic and chopped parsley. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Once dough has risen, punch it down. Pour garlic butter over it, folding to incorporate without overworking. Let rest for 15 minutes.
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with olive oil. Transfer dough, stretch to fit, cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Drizzle olive oil over the dough and add optional toppings. Dimple the surface.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown. Edges should be crispy and center soft.
- Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve warm.
