How to prepare

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, rosemary, oregano and black pepper. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix water with yeast and honey. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes.

Add 1 cup of flour and ¼ cup of olive oil mixture to water and honey mixture. Stir well and set aside for 5 minutes.

Add the remaining amount of flour with salt then knead the dough using your hands for 10 minutes.

Put the dough in a greased bowl with oil and cover it with plastic paper.

Leave the dough aside for an hour until it doubles in size.

Place parchment paper on a baking tray greased with olive oil mixture. Transfer the dough and press it with your fingers, then top it with the remaining olive oil mixture.
