Slowly stream in the yeast mixture and add the olive oil.
If using a mixer or food processor, turn on and allow ingredients to combine until they form a ball of dough.

Knead (either by turning on your machine or by hand) for 2-3 minutes.
Set aside in an oiled bowl, covered with a damp dish towel in a warm place (like an oven that has been turned on and then turned off and allowed to cool a bit but is still warm) for 30 minutes.
