  • After the dough has risen, use the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • Transfer the dough to the greased pan, spreading it out evenly. Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  • Use your fingers to dimple the dough, creating small indentations. Sprinkle chopped rosemary and flaky sea salt over the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool another 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
