INGREDIENTS

  • Base

    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • 💧 2 cups warm water
    • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
    • 🧅 ½ cup diced onion
    • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
    • 🧂 2 tablespoons kosher salt, divided
    • 🌾 5 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed

  • Toppings

    • 🧀 ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

STEPS

1

Dissolve honey in warm water in a large bowl; sprinkle yeast over top. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

2

Stir in onion, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon salt, then add flour until dough comes together. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

3

Place dough in a lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 20 minutes.

4

Preheat the oven to 415 degrees F (215 degrees C). Oil a baking sheet.

5

Place dough onto the prepared baking sheet; flatten to evenly cover the whole sheet. Press indentations into dough spaced about 1 inch apart using fingertips. Drizzle with remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and remaining 1 tablespoon kosher salt over top. Let rise for 10 minutes.

6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

💡 For a richer flavor, substitute Romano or Asiago cheeses for Parmesan.Use fresh rosemary for the best aroma and taste.Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
