Ingredients

• Dough:
• 1 cup water
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 Tbs olive oil
• 2 tsp dried oregano
• 1 1/2 tsp yeast
• Topping:
• 3 Tbs olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Preparation

Step 1

Put the dough ingredients in the bread machine and set it to the "dough" cycle.
When it's done, turn the dough onto a floured board.

Oil a 10x15x1-inch jelly roll pan.
With your hands, gently stretch and press the dough to fit evenly into the pan.
Cover and let rise in warm place for 30-40 minutes, until doubled.

Preheat oven to 400.

With two fingers, poke holes all over the dough.
In a small bowl, mix the oil and garlic and then drizzle over the top of the dough.

Sprinkle with cheese and parsley.
Bake 25-30 minutes, until brown.
Cool on wire rack or cut into squares and serve warm.

Wrapped in plastic, it will keep fresh at room temperature for 2-3 days.
