Make the sponge: stir together the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand for 5–8 minutes until foamy and visibly active. Add the 1/2 cup flour and stir with a spatula until a thick, smooth paste forms. Cover loosely and let rise in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, until puffed and bubbly.
