- Take a mixing bowl. Add in dry yeast, sugar in the bowl. Pour warm water over the yeast and mix. Let it rest for 5 minutes until the yeast activate and get foamy.
- Now add in plain flour, salt to the yeast water and use a spoon or fork to bring the dough together. Add olive oil and knead it once. Apply oil all over it generously. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and Set this aside in a warm place till it doubles in size( for about 1 hour).
- When it has doubled in size, knock out the air and gently remove it to a work surface. Now divide the dough into equal portions.
