Preparation Steps
1
First, proof the yeast: in a bowl, combine the warm water and sugar, then crumble in the yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, until foamy.
2
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the olive oil and pour it into the flour mixture. Stir to combine, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
3
Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour, or until doubled in size. The ideal temperature is around 77°F (25°C).
4
Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a floured surface and gently stretch it into a rectangular shape.
5
Finely chop the chili pepper, peel the garlic and mince it finely. In a skillet, sauté the minced garlic with the olive oil and chili pepper until fragrant.
6
Sprinkle the sautéed garlic and chili pepper over the stretched dough. Fold up the edges of the dough, then gently press the garlic and chili into the surface.
7
Let the dough rest for another 15 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
8
Once done, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve fresh.
