Instructions

1. 1 In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine sifted flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. 3 Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. 5 Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to form a 12-inch round.
