Preparing the yeast
In a bowl, mix warm water with the yeast and sugar. Let rest for about 10 minutes until the yeast forms a light foam on the surface (proof of activation).
Mixing the dough
In a large bowl, add the flour and salt. Mix quickly. Add the water-yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix first with a spoon then knead by hand for about 8 to 10 minutes, until you obtain a soft, homogeneous and slightly elastic dough.
First rising
Shape the dough into a ball, then place it in an oiled bowl. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, until the dough has doubled in volume.
Shaping the dough
Gently deflate the dough by pressing it with your hands. Divide into two equal balls (or keep whole as needed). Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for another 20 to 30 minutes.
Rolling out the dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough using a rolling pin or by hand, giving it the desired shape. Decorate as you prefer with your favorite sauce and toppings.
