To prepare the dough, place the warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let bloom, about 10 minutes.
-
Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture and turn the mixer (fitted with the dough hook) to medium. Knead until the dough comes together to form a smooth dough. Remove dough to an oiled bowl and place in the oven with the light turned on.
-
Let rise for one hour, or until doubled in bulk.
-
When the dough has doubled, punch it down.
-
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
-
Roll the dough out on a well floured surface to a 12 inch circle and place on a pizza stone or pan.
