Serving Size 8
Equipment
- 1 8x8 baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ¾ cups warm water
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C and lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish. In a small dish, combine the butter and garlic.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, or in a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, water, and olive oil. Then add the flour and salt, mixing on medium speed, or by hand, until a rough dough forms.
- Mix on low speed, or knead by hand, for 5 minutes, until a smooth dough forms. The dough is ready when it bounces back after pressing your finger into it.
- Press the dough into the prepared 8x8 pan. Spread the garlic butter on top of the dough and top with the shredded mozzarella.
- Bake for 25 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and the sides are browned. Once removed from the oven, top with Italian seasoning. Allow to cool for 5 minutes and then slice.
