Print Friendly

Ingredients:

  • 2 1⁄4 cups warm Water (110 degrees)
  • 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast (not rapid-rise)
  • 6 cups unbleached All-Purpose Flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1⁄2 teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for bowl

Directions:
Combine water and yeast in a bowl & let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add flour, salt, sugar, and oil, stirring until a ragged dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and knead with floured hands until elastic and tacky but no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat.

Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 3 hours or refrigerate until doubled in volume, at least 12 hours and up to 3 days. Dimple dough at least 3 times while fermenting.
