Prep

1. Chop up 1.5 tbsp of garlic and add to 2 tbsp of olive oil.
2. Grind up 1 tbsp each of rosemary and thyme using a mortar and pestle and add to the garlic and oil.
3. Let that sit for as long as possible - 20 minutes minimum.
4. Chop up another 1.5 tbsp of garlic and add to another 2 tbsp of olive oil (this will sit until the bread is done baking).

Dough

1. Add yeast to a few tbsp of the lukewarm water and let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Add the yeast mixture, olive oil herb mixture, sugar, 2 tsp flaked salt, and flour together and mix until combined - adding more water as needed.
3. Knead the dough into a soft, spongy ball, and let sit in a covered bowl for 1 hour (or until doubled in size)
4. Line a 1/4 baking sheet with parchment paper and spread out the dough until it's between 1/4" and 1/2" thick.
5. Use your fingers to push holes in the dough all around like in the photos.
6. Drizzle all over with olive oil (about 2 tbsp) and use a pastry brush to even it all out.

Bake

1. Bake on 400º for 18-24 minutes.
2. When done, remove from the oven and spread on the remaining marinated olive oil and garlic.
3. Sprinkle more salt and cracked black pepper on the entire bread.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes and enjoy 🙂
