1. Measure all dry ingredients and add to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Measure the water and olive oil into a measuring cup and then add to the dry ingredients. Mix on low until the dough comes together, forming a ball and pulling away from the sides of the bowl. Increase mixer speed to medium and knead for 5 minutes.
2. Remove the dough to a lightly floured countertop and smooth into a ball. Lightly oil a mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 18 to 24 hours.
3. Place rested dough on the countertop. Punch down the dough into a rough rectangle shape, then tightly roll into a 12- to 15-inch log. Split the dough into 3 equal parts using either a large serrated knife or dough scraper. Flatten each third into a disk, then shape it into a smooth ball by folding the edges of the round in toward the center several times and rolling it between your hands on the counter. You may want to moisten the counter with water to up the surface tension so that the ball tightens up instead of sliding across the counter.
4. Cover each ball with a clean tea towel and allow to rest for 30 minutes. At this point, you can also transfer the dough to air-tight plastic containers and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Just make sure you bring them to room temperature for 30 minutes before forming.
