In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In another bowl, whisk together the 00 flour and salt.
Once the yeast is activated, pour it into the bowl of flour and salt. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Grease a clean bowl with extra virgin olive oil and place the dough inside, turning it to coat in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two equal portions for two pizzas.
On a lightly floured surface, take one dough ball and stretch it out into a round shape using your hands.
While you're shaping the dough, preheat your oven to the highest setting, typically around 475-500°F (245-260°C).
Transfer the stretched dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet. Add your favorite toppings and slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for about 8-10 minutes.
