In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until it starts to come together.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

After rising, punch down the dough to release air. Divide it into two equal portions and shape each into a ball.

On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out each ball into your desired thickness.

Pre-bake the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone at 450°F for about 5 minutes if a crispier base is preferred.
