Method
Prepare the Dough

Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F or 43°C), sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Knead the Dough
Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let It Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Assemble the Pizza

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 1/4 inch). Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Evenly spread the tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
