Ingredients:

  • 500g bread flour
  • 10g fine sea salt
  • 1g instant yeast
  • 375g filtered water
  • 10g extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:

  1. Whisk the bread flour, sea salt, and instant yeast in a large bowl until well combined.
  2. Pour the filtered water and olive oil into the dry ingredients.
  3. Stir with a sturdy spoon until no dry flour streaks remain and a shaggy mass forms.
  4. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent the surface from drying out.
  5. Rest the dough at room temperature for about 18 to 24 hours until the surface is dotted with bubbles.
  6. Dust your work surface generously with flour and gently tip the dough out.
  7. Divide the dough into four equal portions using a bench scraper or a sharp knife.
  8. Shape each piece into a smooth ball by folding the edges toward the center.
  9. Proof the balls for another 30 to 60 minutes until they look relaxed and puffy.
  10. Stretch the dough gently with your hands and bake at your oven’s highest setting (usually 500°F) for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust is charred and blistered.
