In a large bowl, mix the flour and all but 1 tablespoon of the warm water until just combined. Cover and let this mixture rest for 20 minutes.

While the dough is resting, sprinkle the yeast over the remaining warm water and set it aside to dissolve.

After the resting time, sprinkle the salt over the surface of the dough. Stir the yeast mixture and pour it over the dough.

To fold the dough, lightly wet your hand and reach underneath, stretching a section of it over the top. Repeat until the center is covered. Pinch off 5-6 chunks of dough, wet your hand to minimize sticking, and continue folding until a shaggy dough forms.

Cover the bowl again and let it rest for about an hour.

Now, fold the dough to develop the gluten. Lightly wet your hand and pull up a section of the dough, folding it over the center. Rotate the bowl and continue folding 4-5 more times until the dough tightens into a ball.

Invert the ball into a clean, lightly greased bowl with the seam side down. Cover and let it rise until it doubles in size, about 5-6 hours.

Once it has risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface and cut it in half. Shape one piece into a ball and repeat with the other.

Place each ball seam-side down on an un-floured area and gently drag it towards you to create tension, rotating and dragging until a round ball forms.

Transfer to a greased plate and lightly oil the tops, cover, and let rest at room temperature for about an hour.

If not using immediately, cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

When your dough is ready, roll it out to your desired thickness and form. Add your favorite sauce, cheeses, and toppings.

Bake in a preheated oven at high temperature for a delicious homemade pizza.
