Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl). Let stand for 5 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the yeast is visibly active.

Add the flour, fine salt, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook for 1 minute to bring the dough together, then increase to medium speed and knead for 5–6 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl. If mixing by hand, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth.
