- 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)

Instructions
- Activate Yeast:
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. - Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. - Knead the Dough:
Mix until it forms a rough dough. Transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 5 to 7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. - Let it Rise:
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
