Ingredients   1 cup warm water (not hot or boiling) 2 teaspoons  active dry or instant yeast 2 1/2 - 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons salt 1-2 teaspoons olive oil (optional) Instructions 1.

Add 2 1/2 cups of the flour (saving the last half cup for kneading), salt, and olive oil (if using). Stir until a shaggy dough is formed. 2. Knead the Dough:  Sprinkle a little of the extra flour onto your clean work surface and turn out the dough. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

If you get tired, stop and let the dough rest for a few minutes before finishing kneading. 3. Let the Dough Rise:  Clean the bowl you used to mix the dou...
