- 1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the flour, salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir 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.
