6 servings
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Instructions
- 1
Combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl and stir briefly. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty — if it doesn't foam, the yeast is inactive and should be replaced.

Add the flour, 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.
