If using an Automatic Bread Machine (ABM), add the ingredients into the machine's pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with the liquids (water and olive oil), then adding the sugar, salt, and flour, and finally sprinkling the yeast on top.
Set the ABM to the 'dough' cycle, and allow it to run until the dough is ready, according to your machine's programmed time.
If making the dough by hand, start by dissolving the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes or until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and flour. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough is ready, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a pizza crust or divide it into portions for multiple crusts, depending on your desired thickness and size.
Use immediately for your favorite pizza recipe, or store the dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
