Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup warm water - between 105-110 degrees
  • 1/2 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 1/2 tsp Rapid Rise yeast
  • 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour - divided
  • 5 1/2 Tbsp olive oil - divided
  • 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped or 1 1/2 tsp dried rosemary - divided
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pinch sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Grease cast iron skillet or 8 inch cake pan with olive oil.
  • In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, place warm water and maple syrup and stir.
  • Sprinkle yeast over the water mixture and stir slightly. Let stand 5 minutes until the yeast blooms.
  • With the paddle attachment in place ( alternately you can use a handheld mixer), turn mixer on low and slowly add 1 cup flour, 3/4 tsp salt until just combined.
  • Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and if using dried rosemary, add 1 tsp.
  • Mixing at low speed, slowly add 1/2 cup flour. If necessary, slowly add just enough of the remaining 1/4 cup flour until the dough just begins to form a ball.
  • Lightly flour a surface and pour dough out onto the surface. Sprinkle the dough with a small amount of flour. Shape into a flattened disk and place in cast iron skillet. Press evenly and 1" up sides, then cover with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Turn off the oven. Place skillet in oven for 20 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, garlic, fresh rosemary or the remaining dried rosemary.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and uncover. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Brush the olive oil mixture over the dough, make indentions using your fingers or the handle of a wooden spoon.
