Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and 1 tsp kosher salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tbsp olive oil, then stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springs back when poked. Shape into a ball, place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise at room temperature for 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
