Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine yeast, warm water, and a pinch of sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the yeast, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2
Add olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3
Gradually add the remaining cup of flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
4
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 10-15 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
5
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
6
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7
Dimple the dough with your fingers and sprinkle with rosemary leaves, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
8
Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
