8 servings
- 1 cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- 1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and stir briefly. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty — this confirms the yeast is active.

Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 1/2 cups of the flour to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
