Ingredients:  
1 tsp yeast
1 Tbsp sugar
3/4 c warm water
2-2 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
Directions:
Directions:
Combine the yeast, sugar and warm water in a bowl. Stir well to dissolve the yeast and sugar. Let sit for 3-5 minutes to let the yest bloom. You'll see foam on top when it's awake and ready to go.

While you're waiting for the yeast, combine 2 cups of the flour and salt in a large bowl. Stir well to evenly distribute the salt. Add the olive oil.

Once the yeast is foamy, stir in the flour mixture. Stir with a spoon until it forms a loose ball. Turn it out onto a counter and begin to knead, for 10 minutes. Sprinkle flour on the countertop sparingly as you knead.

Form the kneaded dough into a ball. Spray a bowl with non stick spray, place dough inside and turn it to coat with oil. Cover the bowl loosely and let it raise in a warm place for one hour. After it has risen, punch it down to release some gasses and stretch it into a 16" round.
