Dough Preparation

Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy.

Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, then add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until a dough starts to form.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Dough for Baking

Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a flatbread shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
