• 2½ tsp active Dry Yeast
• Salt (to taste)
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 4 cups All-Purpose Flour

• Mix yeast and sugar with ½ warm water. Leave aside for 10 minutes to ferment.
• Combine flour with salt and dissolved yeast.
• Add the remaining warm water and knead very smooth dough.
• Pour olive oil over the dough and knead again to absorb the oil completely.
