- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups of flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
- Stir until the dough begins to come together, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle, about 12 inches in diameter.
