Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by dissolving active dry yeast in half of the warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, salt, and remaining warm water, whisking until smooth. Add egg yolk and foamy yeast mixture. Gradually stir in flour until just combined.
  3. Spread the dough evenly in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 15 minutes, then preheat oven to 350°F.
  4. After resting, brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, then dust with garlic salt and oregano.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 28-31 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
