Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
Shape and Second Rise
After the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased baking sheet. Stretch and shape the dough to fit the sheet. Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
