Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
1 3/4 cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Flaky sea salt to finish
Extra olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and stir until fully mixed. Cover and rest for 10–12 hours or overnight.
2. Oil a 9×13-inch metal baking pan. Transfer the dough into the pan and gently stretch to fit. Let rest if it resists.
3. Cover and let the dough rise again for 1–2 hours until puffed and airy.
4. In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add garlic, parsley, oregano, and salt. Simmer gently for 1–2 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Dimple the dough using oiled fingers. Pour garlic butter evenly over the top, then drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle flaky sea salt.
6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is deeply golden and crispy.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best results, let the dough ferment overnight to build flavor and structure.
Always use a metal pan to achieve the ideal golden, crispy bottom crust.
Dimple deeply and evenly to help the garlic butter soak through the bread.
