Whisk ¾ cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cover and allow it to sit for 5 minutes. The mixture should be frothy on top after 5 minutes. If not, start over with new yeast.
In a separate bowl, take 3 cups of flour, add in salt, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and 1 teaspoon chili flakes, add in the activated yeast mixture and water, mix to form a dough.
Grease some olive oil on top of the dough.
Set the INSTANT POT to the YOGURT option and set it to 2 hours. Place the dough inside the instant cooker pot and secure the lid. The dough will double in size after 2 hours.
Pour 1 tablespoon of oil into an 8x8” pan or any pan of your choice and place the dough into the oiled pan.
Spread the dough properly, covering the edges of the pan. With the help of your fingers, make indentations in the dough.
Take the rest of the olive oil and add Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and garlic powder, mix it properly and pour it over the dough. Arrange the tomatoes and jalapenos on the top.
Preheat the oven at 400 F or 200 C and bake the bread for 20-22 minutes until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve warm.
