Basic Pizza Dough

• 1 1/2 cups warm water (115F)
• 2 packets (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for brushing
• 2 tablespoons sugar

2. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
3. Brush another large bowl with oil.
4. Whisk sugar, oil, and salt into yeast mixture, then stir in flour with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
5. Transfer to oiled bowl; brush top of dough with oil.
6. Cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
7. Turn out dough onto a well-floured surface.
8. With floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into two equal balls.
