Instructions
- 1. In a large bowl, stir together the warm water, honey, and yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
- 2. Add the flour, fine sea salt, 1/4 cup Herbs De Provence Infused Olive Oil Blend, and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3. Knead by hand or with a dough hook for 6 to 8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- 4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until doubled in size.
- 5. Generously oil a 9x13-inch baking pan. Press the dough into the pan, stretching it to the corners. If it springs back, let it rest for 10 minutes and stretch again.
- 6. Cover loosely and let the dough rise again for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
- 7. Heat the oven to 425°F. Drizzle the top with a little olive oil, then dimple the dough deeply with oiled fingertips.
- 8. Sprinkle the rosemary, thyme, flaky sea salt, and black pepper over the surface.
- 9. Bake for 22 to 28 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are crisp.
- 10. Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares or strips and serve warm.
Notes
For the best texture, do not rush the rise time. The dough should feel airy before it goes into the oven, and a generous coat of olive oil in the pan helps the bottom and edges bake up beautifully crisp.
