  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl, covered with a damp cloth, for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.

  6. Shape the dough by transferring it to the greased sheet and stretching it to fill the sheet.
  7. Dimple the dough using your fingertips and top with additional olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and sea salt.
  8. Allow the topped dough to rest for 20-30 minutes before baking.
