Method
Dough Preparation

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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with olive oil.

First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
