Preparation Steps

Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy. Then, add the olive oil and salt.

Mix the Dough
Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
