Cooking day instructions
Heat water and olive oil to 120 degrees. In bowl, combine 1½ cups flour with yeast, sugar, and salt. Add warm water and mix with electric mixer for 3 minutes. Stir in 1½ cups additional flour by hand to form a soft dough. Knead on a floured surface for 10 minutes, adding rest of flour as needed. Dough should be smooth and elastic but not sticky. Shape into ball and place in greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise in a warm place about 45 minutes or until doubled in size. Punch down dough and divide in half. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and freeze, using freezer bag method.
