"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

3 cups flour

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tbsp oil and stir to combine.
2. Let sit until the mixture is foamy-about 5 min.
3. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition until flour all incorporated but dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky- 3 to 5 min.
4. Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 tsp olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft free place until it has nearly doubled in size, 1-1 1/2 hr.
