- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup warm water (between 100°F and 110°F)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in warm water and olive oil; mix until a shaggy dough forms.

- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
