Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, and kosher salt. Gradually add lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  2. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  3. Punch down the dough to release gas, divide into a large piece for the body and smaller pieces for legs, shaped appropriately. Arrange on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
  4. Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let it rise for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Once risen, bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes.
  7. Cut off the top section of the body to create a bowl and scoop out the inside gently. Fill with your favorite dip.
