If you don't have a lot of time, this is a good choice.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (60g) olive oil, divided
- 1 1/2 cups (340g) water, warm
- 1 1/4 teaspoons (8g) table salt
- 3 1/2 cups (420g) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 4 teaspoons (8g) King Arthur Pizza Dough Flavor, optional
- 1/4 cup (28g) King Arthur Better Cheddar Cheese Powder, optional
- 1 tablespoon (13g) olive oil, for drizzling
- Pizza Seasoning, optional
Directions
- 1Use non-stick vegetable oil spray to lightly grease a 9" x 13" pan. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons (25g) of the olive oil atop the spray; the spray keeps the bread from sticking, while the olive oil gives the bottom crust great flavor and a bit of crunch.
- 2Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Combine the remaining 3 tablespoons (35g) of the olive oil with the rest of the dough ingredients, and beat at high speed with an electric mixer for 60 seconds.
- 3Scoop the sticky batter into the prepared pan, cover the pan, and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes — it should be quite puffy, but not fragile-looking.
- 4While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 375°F.
- 5Gently poke the dough all over with your index finger.
- 6Drizzle it lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with pizza seasoning, and/or the dried herbs of your choice, if desired.
- 7Bake the bread until it's golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
- 8Remove it from the oven, wait 5 minutes, then turn it out of the pan onto a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
