Ingredients
  

  • 15 ounces bread flour, about 3 cups plus 2 1/2 tablespoons, plus more for sprinkling
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 12 ounces water, lukewarm
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt; stir with a spoon or whisk to blend.
  • Add the water and olive oil to the flour mixture and stir for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until well combined. The dough will be soft. Sprinkle a few teaspoons of flour over the dough.
  • Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap and let it stand in a draft-free place for about 1 1/2 hours. Or place it in the oven with the light on (or "proofing" setting) and let it stand for about 1 hour.
