Preparation and Baking

Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
