Ingredients
- 2 and 1/2 cups (300 g/10.5 oz) bread flour, sifted

- Mix for another 7 minutes on low-medium speed until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a large bowl brushed with olive oil and toss to coat.
- Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place until it has doubled in size (1-2 hours).
