Ingredients
2/3 cup warm water (110°F)
1/4 ounce active dry yeast (not rapid rise; 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Preparation
Combine water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, and oil, and stir until a ragged dough forms. Transfer to a lightly floured work surface.
Knead with floured hands until dough is smooth, elastic, and tacky but no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl brushed with oil, turning dough to evenly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 30 to 45 minutes.
