• All - purpose flour - 3 1/2 cups
• Active dry yeast - 2 1/4 teaspoons
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
2. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.
3. Add the flour, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, and the salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
