Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Punch down the risen dough and transfer to a baking sheet.

Press the dough into a rectangle, about 1 inch thick.

Dimple the surface with your fingers and drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle with sea salt, herbs, and toppings of choice.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes before baking.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
