In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until foamy and fragrant.

Add the bread flour, kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix with the dough hook on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon, then knead by hand) for 4–5 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough will be softer and stickier than a typical pizza dough — this is correct.
