Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix by hand or with the dough hook on medium-low speed until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for 5–7 minutes until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and springs back when poked. Shape into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
