Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F and place a pizza stone in the oven to warm for at least 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly and frothy.

Gently stir in the olive oil to enrich the dough.

Add 2 cups of flour and the salt to the mixture. Mix until a dough ball begins to form, then add more flour as needed for consistency.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding extra flour if sticky.

Optionally, cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise for 10 minutes to 1 hour for enhanced flavor and texture.

Roll out the dough into your desired shape on parchment paper.

Top the rolled-out dough with pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.

Transfer the topped pizza to the preheated pizza stone and bake for 11-14 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting. Serve hot.
