Amanda's Italian Flat Bread


  • 1-1/2 packets yeast
  • 1-1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1-1/8 teaspoons salt
  • 3/8 cup vegetable oil
  • 4-1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasonings
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Preheat oven to 450F.

In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over warm water and let stand for 5 minutes. Add sugar, salt and water. Add 2 cups flour and stir with a wooden spoon. Add remaining flour, a little at a time, and stir until you can handle it.

Flour breadboard and knead dough for 15 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rise 1 hour or until doubled. Knead dough briefly again to remove excess air bubbles.

Roll into a large rectangle. Place on foil or parchment, sprayed with non-stick spray, on cookie sheet, and turn up sides. Brush on olive oil, sprinkle on Italian seasonings, garlic and Parmesan cheese. Bake 12 to 15 minutes.
