Knead the Dough
After resting, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.

Shape the Dough
After the first rise, gently deflate the dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch it out to fit the pan, cover, and let it rise for another 1-2 hours.
