Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour warm water into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the quick-rising yeast over the surface. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add the flour, salt, sugar, extra virgin olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese to the yeast mixture.
  3. Mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C).
  7. Punch down the dough and spread it into a baking pan. Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle with additional olive oil.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
