Add 2 cups flour, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and springs back when poked. Shape into a ball, place back in the bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
