Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Stretch dough on the pan into a thin 12×8-inch rectangle. Use your fingers to dimple the surface all over.
Step 3
Whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, herbs, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest in a small bowl.
Step 4
Brush herb oil evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with coarse salt. Slash 3–4 diagonal cuts into the bread without cutting all the way through.
Step 5
Bake until edges are deep golden and center springs back when poked, 12–15 minutes. Surface should look crispy and puffed.
Step 6
Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil. Cool 2 minutes, then tear into pieces and serve warm.
