2. 2

   Combine flour and salt in large mixing bowl. Make a well in center of flour and gradually work half the yeast mixture into well with your fingers. Add the olive oil and gradually work in remaining yeast mixture. Add a tablespoon more of water, if needed, to make dough soft and smooth.

3. 3

   Turn dough ot onto flat surface and knead vigorously for at least 10 minutes--pushing dough away from you, then folding it back toward you--until it is smooth and elastic with a dull sheen. Shape dough into a ball and place in a large greased bowl, turning dough over to grease the top. Divide dough in half and cover with damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in bulk, about 45-60 minutes.
