Dough Preparation

Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil.

Knead the Dough
Mix the ingredients until they form a dough. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

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

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
