Method
Preparation
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Baking
Prepare the Pan
Grease a baking sheet with olive oil. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Shape the Dough
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Stretch the dough out to fit the sheet, making dimples with your fingers.
Add Toppings
Drizzle spicy olive oil over the dough, sprinkle with grated cheddar, rosemary, and sea salt.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before slicing.
