In a large bowl, combine 500 grams of strong flour with a W index of 300 and about 12% protein content.
Add 12 grams of fresh yeast and one teaspoon of honey.
Pour in 350 grams of lukewarm water and gradually add more water until the dough feels sticky, soft, and fluffy. The total water used is about 380 grams.
Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt.
Mix everything together until the dough is smooth and well coated with oil.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, use a spatula or spoon to fold the dough by pulling it from the bottom toward the center of the bowl, continuing until the dough becomes smoother and more elastic.
Cover the bowl again and let the dough rest for another hour.
After an hour, the dough should double in size. Fold it by bringing the edges toward the center several times, gently mixing it to help build strength.
Generously spread extra virgin olive oil onto a baking sheet.
