Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix self-rising flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add water and stir until shaggy dough forms, about 1 minute.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle the garlic oil over dough. Sprinkle coarse salt and pepper flakes evenly across the surface.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Cool 2 minutes on the pan, then slide onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
