Recipe Notes

Store the leftover bread in an airtight container on the counter for up to one week.

Here's how to make it:

Add the olive oil, garlic, thyme, rosemary and a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper to a skillet. Cook on low heat until herbs let off their fragrance, about 5 minutes. Do not let the garlic brown. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, add the yeast, warm water and sugar. Stir and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Add 1 cup of flour along with 1/4 cup of the garlic-herb oil. When just moist, allow the dough to sit for another 5 minutes.
Add in the rest of the flour and salt. Mix until it forms a dough.
Put the dough onto a floured work surface. Knead the dough about 15 times. Put the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let the dough rise for 1 hour.
To bake the bread, oil a 13x9-inch high-rimmed baking pan with about 2 tablespoons of the garlic-herb oil. Put the dough onto the baking sheet and press into the pan, using your fingertips to create small indentions in the dough.
Pour about 2 tablespoons of the remaining garlic-herb oil on the top of the dough. Let the dough rise for 15 to 20 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 450-degree F oven for about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes, if desired.
