Place a baking stone or thick cast iron pan on the middle rack of your oven and preheat to 475Β°F (245Β°C). Let the stone heat for at least 30 minutes even though the dough only takes 10 minutes to prepare.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and olive oil. Stir to dissolve the yeast.
Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 2 minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly elastic. The dough should feel tacky, but not overly sticky.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a rough ball. Flatten each ball slightly to create 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Sprinkle a small amount of semolina flour or cornmeal onto a sheet of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the dough rounds on the parchment.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto the preheated stone in the oven. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bread puffs up and forms a golden crust.
Use tongs or a spatula to remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Serve warm with butter, olive oil, or your favorite dips. Enjoy your freshly baked Speedy Bread on Hot Stone!
