Cook Time: 30 minutes minutes
Total Time: 2 hours hours
- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. yeast
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 cloves roasted garlic, chopped (optional)
- 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning, (optional)
- ½ tsp. crushed flaked or kosher salt, (optional)
Prep
Heat a small pan over medium-low heat.
Keep the skin on 4 garlic cloves and place them in the pan.
Turn the garlic frequently until the skin starts to brown on all sides and the garlic is soft.
Remove from the pan and set aside until cool, then remove the skin, cut off the ends, and chop.
Mix
Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl.
Add chopped roasted garlic, Italian seasoning, and coarse salt, if desired.
Add 1 cup of warm water and combine until firm.
Add extra water 1 Tbsp. at a time, if needed, until the dough holds together and stops being shaggy, but don't let it get wet.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for an hour.
Rise
Grease the skillet with olive oil.
Roll the dough over in the bowl with a spatula.
Sprinkle flour around the dough and bowl and fold the dough over on itself until a nice ball is formed.
Dump the dough into the skillet and spread it out.
Cover the dough and let it rise for 30 minutes.
Cook
Keep the pan covered and cook over a LOW heat for 20 minutes until the top is dry and firm.
Flip the bread, turn up the heat a little, and continue cooking for another 5 minutes without the lid.
