Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, and 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. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
