Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
• Stir in olive oil, flour, and salt. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Punch down dough and turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
• Cut into desired shapes and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
