Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 8 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 tbsp basil chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast, water, 1 tsp salt and 1 tbsp olive oil and let stand until bubbles begin to form (about 5 minutes).
  • Gradually in 3 1/2 cups flour until the dough has formed.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface until it no longer feels sticky, adding additional flour if necessary (about 5-10 minutes).
  • Place the ball of dough into a bowl with 1 tbsp olive oil, coat with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size (about 35-45 minutes).
  • Punch the dough to flatten, cut into four pieces, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450F.
  • Gently stretch each flatbread into a 13x7 inch oval and place on a greased baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle each flatbread with garlic, basil, salt and pepper then drizzle with remaining olive oil.
  • Bake at 450F until golden around the edges (about 10 minutes). NOTE: If garlic begins to burn, lower temperature to 400F for the last few minutes.
