Simply start with sifting you 500g of all purpose flour into a mixing bowl.
Add the yeast, sugar and salt then mix the flour to incorporate the ingredients.
Start adding in the water slowly, and with a spatula gently mix in the water. Don't mix it too much as the dough will become to stiff. Just lightly fold the water in.
Keep adding the water until you notice very little loose flour left. Add a slash of extra virgin olive oil and then start mixing the mixture by hand adding a small amount of water at a time until the dough is a nice spongy ball. Make sure its not too sticky. If it is, add a little flour and need it into a smooth ball.

Now let the dough rest in a warm bowl covered with a towel or in a Tupperware container for around 1-2 hours, until it doubles in size.
