Preparation:

Step 1
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Add 2 cups of warm water (about 104°F/40°C) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and mix with a wooden spoon until a rough dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
Step 2
• Using lightly floured hands, transfer the dough to a generously floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 1 minute (do not overwork). Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled large bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 260°C.
Step 3
• Grease two 12x18-inch (32x45 cm) baking sheets (not non-stick) with olive oil, 3 tablespoons per sheet. Place one piece of dough on each sheet. Cover the dough with plastic wrap, then press firmly with your hands to fill the baking sheet.
Step 4
• Remove the plastic wrap and place the baking sheet on the hot pizza stone. Bake until the crust begins to darken, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully unroll the crust from the baking sheet. Top with the toppings and bake the pizza, or let the crust cool, wrap loosely in plastic wrap, and set aside for 8 hours.
