Step-by-Step Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, whisk together warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar or honey. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine '00' flour and fine sea salt. Mix thoroughly and create a well in the center.
- Mix the Dough: Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Gradually incorporate the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours.
- Shape the Dough: Punch down the risen dough, divide in half, and form into balls. Let rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Ready to Use: Shape each ball into pizza crusts and add toppings before baking on a preheated pizza stone.

Notes
Patience is key for optimal flavor development. Excess flour can lead to tough dough. Consider cold fermentation for richer flavor.
