- Combine olive oil, flour, and salt in a large mixing basin.
- Once the yeast has proofed, add it to the flour and knead until the dough is smooth. If necessary, add more flour.
- Place the dough in an oiled basin and cover it with a clean towel to rise for about 30 minutes in a warm environment.
- Gently press the dough down and roll it into a smooth ball. Allow two hours for the mixture to rise in the bowl.
- Put a pizza slab oven in a cold oven after two hours. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll out dough to a circle of 16 inches on a large silicone baking mat with a rolling pin.
