Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and flaky sea salt. Gradually mix in warm water and olive oil until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough, transfer to a floured surface, shape it into a loaf, and place it on a baking sheet or Dutch oven.
  5. Let the shaped dough rise uncovered for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  6. Bake the risen dough in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
