In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 mins until frothy.
Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead for 5 mins until smooth (or use a stand mixer with a dough hook).
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled.
Punch down dough, divide if needed, and roll out on a floured surface. Add toppings.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Bake for 12–15 mins until crust is golden.
