Step 1
Mix self-rising flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add water and stir until shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Pour 2 tbsp olive oil onto a sheet pan, then press dough directly onto the oiled surface with oiled fingers until 1/2-inch thick.
Step 3
Warm remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and rosemary, cooking until fragrant and garlic turns pale gold, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Drizzle the garlic oil over dough. Sprinkle coarse salt and pepper flakes evenly across the surface.
Step 5
Bake at 425°F until edges are golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12–14 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes on the pan, then slide onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
