Add instant activated dry yeast, salt, and olive oil into lukewarm water and whisk.

Cover with a plate and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom the yeast.

In a large bowl, add all-purpose flour and slowly incorporate the yeast mixture into the flour.

Mix with a wooden spoon or by hand until a wet and sticky dough forms.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a tea towel, and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Perform four sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes, wetting hands to handle the sticky dough.

After the last stretch and fold, transfer the dough to a greased pan, ensuring the sides are well-oiled.

Drizzle more olive oil on top of the dough and cover it for a final rise of 1 hour.
