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

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Once the yeast is activated, add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form the dough into a ball.

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