Instructions
In a large mixing bowl stir together the yeast, warm water, agave, 1 Tbsp olive oil, and salt until combined
Add bread flour and mix with a spoon until all dry ingredients are blended
Cover with a cloth and let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes
Stretch and fold the dough from the top upwards and then down towards the bottom of the dough

Repeat this action on all sides of the dough until it feels like you have created tension and you cannot stretch the dough up and over anymore
Let the dough rest for 10 minutes and repeat fold action one more time
Wet hands gather dough and place seam side down in a bowl so that the top is smooth
Give the dough a generous drizzle of olive oil and rub over the top of the dough
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 24 - 48 hours (the longer the more flavor)
Prepare a 9” x 13” baking sheet with oil and parchment paper

Drizzle 2 Tbsp olive oil on the parchment paper and spread evenly
Remove dough from fridge and place it on the tray
Oil hands and fold one side of the dough towards the middle and repeat with other side; like folding a piece of paper into thirds
Flip the dough so that the seam side is down
Cover using another tray flipped upside down (do not use plastic wrap or a towel because the dough will stick)
Let sit for 2 ¼ hours or until the dough fills the tray
Preheat oven to 425°
Once dough is jiggly drizzle top with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs, garlic power, garlic slices, and vegan parmesan

Oil hands and press fingers into dough, gently touching the bottom of the tray until entire surface is dimpled
Sprinkle top of dough with flakey salt
Bake for 18 - 22 minutes on the lowest rack; remove from oven once it is golden brown
Let the bread cool for a couple of minutes and move to a cooling rack so it stays crisp
Let cool for 15 - 20 minutes before cutting
