Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
      \n
    • \n
        \n
      • 2 \u00bc teaspoons<\/strong>\u00a0(1 packet) active dry yeast<\/li>\n
      • 1 teaspoon<\/strong>\u00a0sugar<\/li>\n
      • 1 cup<\/strong>\u00a0warm water (110-115\u00b0F)<\/li>\n
      • 2 \u00bd cups<\/strong>\u00a0all purpose flour<\/li>\n
      • 2 tablespoons<\/strong>\u00a0olive oil<\/li>\n
      • 1 teaspoon<\/strong>\u00a0salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Directions<\/h3>\n

        1: Activate the Yeast<\/strong><\/h4>\n
          \n
        • \n
            \n
          • \n
              \n
            • In a small bowl, stir together the yeast, sugar, and warm water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
              \n
              <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy. If it doesn\u2019t foam, your yeast may be expired or your water too hot or cold.<\/div>\n
              2: Make the Dough<\/div>\n
              In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, and salt.<\/div>\n
              Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough starts to form.<\/div>\n
              <\/div>\n
              <\/div>\n
              Use your hands to bring it together into a rough dough ball.<\/div>\n
              3: Knead for Structure<\/div>\n
              Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.<\/div>\n
              Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until it\u2019s smooth and elastic. You should be able to stretch it without tearing.<\/div>\n
              4: Let It Rise<\/div>\n
              Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and set in a warm area.<\/div>\n
