Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 packet active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.
2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a rough dough forms, then knead until smooth.
3. Transfer to an oiled bowl. Cover and rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, until doubled.
4. Press dough into a greased baking pan. Let rise again for 30-45 minutes.
5. Melt butter and cook garlic gently until fragrant. Stir in parsley if using.
6. Preheat oven to 425°F. Dimple dough with fingers and pour garlic butter on top.
7. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
Let the dough rise fully for a light and airy texture.
Use fresh garlic for the boldest flavor.
Refrigerating the dough overnight deepens the taste.
