Add the warm water and the yeast to the bowl. Stir gently and let the yeast mixture stand for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, the yeast mixture will look like this.

Add the olive oil.

Add the salt and the flour.

Let the mixer knead slowly until the dough comes together.

When the dough comes together it will look like this. I usually let the machine go for about 5 minutes.

Take it out of the machine.

Cover the bowl with a towel in a warm place and let it rise until doubled. About an hour or so.

Turn it out and knead it into the shape of a ball.

Cover the dough with the same towel or plastic wrap and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. After that, you can roll it out and get it ready to top and bake.
