In a large mixing bowl stir together the flour and yeast. Heat the water until barely warm. Make a well in the center of the flour and slowly pour in the water while stirring with a wooden spoon.
Stir until the flour is almost completely incorporated, then sprinkle the salt over the dough as well as the olive oil. Continue stirring until both ingredients are fully incorporated in the dough, scraping down the sides of the bowl with the wooden spoon to gather all of the flour. This should only take about a minute.
This step was completely done with only my wooden spoon. However, if you wish you can reach in with your hands to mix all the ingredients well. You do not need to knead the dough. It will be very sticky and not at all smooth. This is fine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm part of your kitchen that is free of any drafts such as your unlit oven. Let sit for 6-24 hours.
Anytime between 6-24 hours you can bake your dough. It will have increased in volume, will be bubbly, sticky and jiggly. Use a spatula to scrape the dough onto a generously floured surface. Do not over handle the dough or attempt to knead it.
Fold over the 2 side edges toward the center of the dough. Then fold the top and bottom edges toward the center. Gather the dough to form a ball with the seam side down.
Lightly grease the same bowl you used for the rising period, gently place the ball of dough in the bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit for 1 hour.
Place the dough on your well floured surface and gently flatten the dough into a large rectangle. Use your finger tips to press down and spread the dough to shape into a large rectangle. Flour your hands as needed. No rolling pin is necessary.
If you're using a pizza stone or round baking pans, divide the dough in 2. Shape each half into a ball, then flatten into a circular shape to make 2 -12 inch pizzas.
Grease a rectangular baking pan (approximately 10x16 inches) generously with olive oil. Pick up the dough and place on the pan. Spread it out by applying gentle pressure with your finger tips until it covers most of the pan. Cover with a clean dish cloth while you preheat your oven to 500 degrees F and prepare your toppings.
