In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy. Add the olive oil and salt.

Prepare the Dough

Gradually add the flour to the yeast mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Mix and Knead

Place the 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 doubled in size.

First Rise

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into four equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Divide and Shape

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.

Preheat Oven

On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a round pizza crust, about 12 inches in diameter.

Roll Out Dough

Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings of choice.

Add Toppings

Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Bake the Pizza

Remove from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve hot.
