Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Dissolve sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Sprinkle active dry yeast over it and let it foam for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and 1/4 cup olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the risen dough and spread it onto a greased 9x13-inch baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, grated Parmesan, and optional rosemary. Create dimples in the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
