Ingredients
- 500 g about 4 cups bread flour

- 1 tsp sugar
- 7 g 2 1/4 tsps active dry yeast
- 2 tbps olive oil
- 350 ml 1 1/2 cups warm water

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
- Add olive oil and warm water, then mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
- Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a greased baking sheet, gently stretching it to fit.
- Press your fingertips into the dough to create dimples.
- Add toppings of choice, pressing them lightly into the dough.

- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
- Ensure the water used for the dough is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
- Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference.
