Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Generously grease a 8"x 11" baking pan with butter. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil in the bottom. Set aside.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast. Add the water. Using a rubber spatula, mix until the liquid is absorbed and the ingredients form a sticky dough ball. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Cover with a damp towel and let rise until doubles in size, about 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Oil your hands and if necessary, spread the dough into the corners of the pan. Cover with the damp towel and let rise second time, about 40 minutes.

  4. 4

    Toward the end of the rising process, preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C no fan, and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.

  5. 5

    Use your fingers to dimple the dough all over, pressing your fingers almost to the bottom of the pan. Bubbles will form in the dough - do not pop them, just leave them be.

  6. 6

    Drizzle the top with 1 tbsp olive oil. As for the toppings, you can change them up however you like.

  7. 7

    Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before serving.
