🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tsp sugar
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt

For the Garlic Butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

For Topping

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
3In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast.
4Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is frothy.
5In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
6Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
7Mix until a dough forms.
8Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
9If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
10Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
11The dough should look puffy and the surface should have small bubbles.
12Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf on the prepared baking sheet.
13Use your fingers to create indentations on the surface of the dough.
14Cover the dough loosely with a clean cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
15The dough should look puffy and the indentations should have filled in.
16While the dough is rising, prepare the garlic butter.
17In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
18Mix well and set aside.
19Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the surface of the risen dough.
20Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the dough.
21The surface should be shiny and covered in cheese.
22Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
23The bread should have a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior.
24Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.
25The bread should be slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
