Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until no dry flour is visible. Rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

  2. Every 30 minutes, gently stretch and fold the dough (pull it up and fold it over itself) for a total of 4–5 times to help build strength.

  3. After the final fold, let the dough rise until it doubles in size (about 30–45 minutes).

  4. Drizzle olive oil into a pan, then gently transfer the dough.

  5. Let it final proof for 45–60 minutes.

  6. Drizzle olive oil generously on top, dimple the dough with your fingertips, and add your preferred toppings.

  7. Sprinkle coarse salt over the surface of the dough.

  8. Bake at 430°F for 25–30 minutes.
