2 tablespoons olive oil

Gently mix ingredients until a shaggy dough develops, then transfer to a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour or until doubled in volume.

Punch down the dough, shape into a round loaf, and transfer to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Cover with a towel and let rise for an additional 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 450°F.
