Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 ⅓ cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a soft and sticky dough starts to form.
4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
