Directions
Mix the yeast, sugar, ½ cup water and ¼ cup flour together in a bowl and let proof for 10 minutes. Mixture should look frothy. Add remaining flour, salt and olive oil and mix well.
Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes or until dough is elastic and smooth.
Alternately you can do this with the dough hook in a heavy duty mixer. Dough should feel moist and tender. If it's too stiff, add a bit more water.
Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat it evenly. Cover and let rise in a warm spot in kitchen (at least 75 degrees) for 1 to 2 hours.
