Ingredients

  • 4 cups (512 g) bread flour
  • 2 teaspoons (12 g) kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons (8 g) instant dry yeast
  • 2 cups (455 g) lukewarm water
  • Extra virgin olive oil

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast.

2. Add the water and use a rubber spatula to mix the ingredients until the liquid is absorbed, and the dough forms a sticky ball.

3. Scrape down the sides of the bowl well so that the dough is in the center of the bowl. Rub the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap.

4. Place in the fridge for at least 18 hours but up to 48 hours. You can also freeze the dough after mixing and then defrost and proof in the refrigerator.
