Measure 497 grams of flour and place it in a mixing bowl.

Add 2 grams of instant yeast, 6 grams of sugar, and 10 grams of table salt to the flour and mix gently.

Pour in 318 grams of cold water and mix until combined.

Add 1 and 1/4 tablespoons of olive oil and mix to form a shaggy dough.

Transfer the dough to a cutting board and form it into a rough ball without adding extra flour.

Place the dough in a container, coat the top with a little olive oil, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 72 hours for cold fermentation.

Remove the dough from the fridge and let it sit for 60 minutes before stretching.

Grease a 14 by 14 inch Sicilian pan with olive oil.

Stretch the dough to fit the pan, ensuring it reaches the corners and build up a crust.

Cover the stretched dough with plastic wrap and let it rise on top of the oven for 2 to 3 hours.

Prepare the sauce by mixing the tomatoes with about a half to one teaspoon of kosher salt.

Spread 6 ounces of tomato sauce over the risen dough.

Add shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
