In a small bowl, combine warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture, followed by the olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it by hand for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook on medium speed for 5-7 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel.
Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release the air and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. At this point, you can roll it out and use it immediately for pizzas, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
