1. ACTIVATE THE YEAST
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. MIX THE DOUGH
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a bit more water.
3. KNEAD THE DOUGH
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. LET THE DOUGH RISE
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
