✨ Classic Method (with 2-hour rise)

1. Activate yeast: Mix warm water, yeast, and a pinch of flour. Let sit 5–10 min until frothy.
2. In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. Add yeast mixture + ¼ cup oil. Mix until shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead 5–7 min (by hand or mixer) until smooth and elastic. Place in oiled bowl, cover, rise 1–1.5 hrs until doubled.
4. Pour 2 tbsp oil into a 9×13″ pan. Gently stretch dough into pan (don’t force—let rest 10 min if springy). Cover; rise 30–45 min.
5. Dimple dough deeply with oiled fingertips. Drizzle with remaining oil. Press in toppings.
6. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 20–25 min until golden. Cool 10 min before slicing.

⚡ Low-Carb Quick Method (No rise!)

1. Whisk dry ingredients. In another bowl, beat eggs, oil, and water.
2. Combine wet + dry; stir until thick dough forms (let rest 5 min—psyllium hydrates).
3. Press into oiled 8×8″ pan. Dimple, top with oil and herbs.
4. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 min until deep golden and firm. Cool completely (it firms as it cools!).
