Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add flour, salt, olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the parmesan cheese. Mix until combined.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Punch down the dough and transfer it onto an oiled baking sheet.
Shape into a rectangle or circle about 1 inch thick. Create dimples on top with your fingers, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
