Add the warm water and olive oil and work the mixture with an electric whisk until you get a homogeneous dough.

Add salt.

Knead the mixture until you get a homogeneous dough.

Seal the bowl containing the dough with plastic wrap or place a damp cloth.

Put in the oven and let the dough rest for about 45 minutes, until its volume has doubled.
