Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (about 100°F)
  • 1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp. sugar
  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh or dried rosemary, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh or dried oregano, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. fresh or dried thyme, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. coarse salt
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
  • 1/4 cup kalamata and/or green olives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a large bowl, mix together the warm water with active dry yeast and sugar. Watch it bubble up!
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the bread flour and kosher salt until well combined.
  3. Combine mixtures: Pour the yeast mixture into the flour bowl, stirring until a dough forms.
  4. Refrigerate: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  5. Prepare for rising: Grease an 8-inch cake pan with 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil. Move your dough to the pan and let it rise on the counter for 1 hour.
  6. Preheat the oven: Preheat to 425°F.
  7. Add toppings and herbs: Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the dough, sprinkle with herbs and olives.
  8. Bake it: Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Cool & serve: Let it cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and slice generously.
