1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.
2. On a work surface, form the flour into a well; add the salt, sugar, oil and water and yeast mixture into the centre; gradually blend in enough flour to form a smooth dough.
3. Knead the dough until firm and elastic; form into a ball and cover with a damp cloth; let rise for two hours in a warm draft-free place; the dough is ready when it comes away easily from the bowl and does not stick to your fingers.
4. Once the dough has doubled in volume, press it into a pizza pan or baking sheet.
5. Top the pizza as desired, add a sprinkling of olive oil and let rest 5 minutes.
6. Bake at 200 °C / 400 °F for 20 minutes; serve hot.
