In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 105°F), yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, add salt, olive oil, and 2 cups of flour. Pour in the foamy yeast mixture. Mix on low speed until combined.

Gradually add the remaining flour and knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 500°F. Punch down the dough, roll out on a floured surface to your desired thickness, place on a baking sheet or pizza stone.

Add your preferred toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
