In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Once the yeast is activated, add it along with olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.

4. Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5. Let Dough 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 hour or until doubled in size.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried parsley. Set aside.
