2. Add in the water. Stir with a fork.

3. Add the olive oil. Stir with a fork until the dough starts to pull together.

4. Gently knead the dough with your hands until it is no longer clumpy. It will be sticky and smooth, similar to the consistency of mashed potatoes.

5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 45 min. The dough will not double in size like traditional dough. Instead, it will rise slightly and appear puffy in texture.
