Ingredients
- 2½ cups bread flour
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon instant or active dry yeast*
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons water, room temperature
*If using instant yeast, prepare as written. If using active dry yeast it must be proofed in warm (105°F-110°F) water first. Sprinkle the yeast into the warm water, along with a pinch of the sugar, and once it gets foamy, it is ready to use. All other dry ingredients can be mixed as written.
Preparation
- Put the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast into a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. Add the olive oil to the water and then pour over the dry ingredients. Using your hands or a bowl scraper, work the ingredients to form a dough. Knead a few more times, and then cover and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
- Fold the dough over a few times, then use in your favorite focaccia or Sicilian or Grandma-style pizza.
