Mix flour and all but 1 tablespoon of the water in a large bowl until just combined, then cover and set aside for 20 minutes to rest. Sprinkle yeast over remaining warm water and set aside to dissolve.

Sprinkle salt over the surface of the dough. Stir yeast mixture and pour over dough. Fold the dough until a shaggy dough is formed. Cover the bowl and let rest about an hour.

Fold the dough one time to develop the gluten and let rise until doubled in volume, 5-6 hours.

Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface, cut in half, and shape into a ball.

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

Preheat oven to 500°F with pizza steel or stone. Shape dough and transfer to a floured peel.

Add sauce and toppings, then slide pizza onto the hot steel and bake for 5 minutes.

Turn on the broiler and broil for 2-4 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden.
