In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the well in the flour mixture, along with the olive oil. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into two equal portions or keep it whole for one large pizza. Roll it out to your desired thickness.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Transfer your shaped dough onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Brush the crust with olive oil, then add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
