Ingredients:
2¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (around 40°C or 105°F)
2½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
How to make:
In a bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape as desired.
