Proof the sponge by mixing 1 cup of flour with 1 cup of water and adding it to the sourdough starter in a bowl.

Cover the mixture loosely with shrink wrap and leave it overnight.

The next morning, pour out 1 cup of the proofed sponge into a new bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 cup of filtered water to the proofed sponge and stir to combine.

Grease a bowl with extra virgin olive oil and place the dough back in it.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 4 to 5 hours until doubled in size.

Knead the dough on a countertop, adding flour as needed until it is not sticky.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it back in the greased bowl.

Cover the bowl with cling wrap and let it rise again.
