Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the water and let sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dough: Add flour, olive oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir with a spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking.
First Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape: Punch down dough, divide into 2 balls, and roll out on a floured surface to desired thickness.
Top & Bake: Add sauce and toppings, then bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden.
