Crumble the yeast into a bowl with warm water (300 ml) and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy. Sift the flour with salt onto a work surface to form a mound, make a crater in the center, and pour in the olive oil and yeast. Gently knead the dough by hand until elastic and smooth. Shape it into a ball, place it in a deep bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours: the dough should double in size.
