- 1.75 tsp salt
- 3.5 tbsp olive oil
- 400 ml lukewarm water

## Instructions

1. Add flour, instant yeast, salt, olive oil, and lukewarm water to a large bowl.
2. Mix until a sticky dough is formed.
3. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest in a warm place for 20 minutes.

5. Cover the dough again and let it rest for 20 minutes.
6. Repeat the stretch and fold process two more times, each time allowing the dough to rest for 20 minutes in between (total of 3 sets of stretch and folds).

8. Transfer the dough gently to a well-floured surface.
9. Dust the top of the dough with more flour.
