Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour.
Combine Ingredients: Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the well along with the oil. Mix together until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Let it Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for crispy, golden crust perfection.
Step 3: Shape the Pizza
