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

Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.

Gradually stir in the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes.

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

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape them into buns.

Place the shaped buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
