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

Add the flour, 3/4 tsp kosher salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir with a fork until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and springs back slowly when poked.
