5. Cut dough into two portions and form into two smooth dough balls.
6. Place on parchment lined baking sheet with space between to allow for rising. Drizzle olive oil over each dough ball and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
7. Place in fridge for 24 hours to ferment.
8. When ready to use, transfer dough to lightly floured work surface, with flour dusted hands.
9. Stretch dough, working from the outside inward to get an even thickness and keep from tearing.

11. Place the formed disc on a pizza pan for the oven.
