For dough: Place yeast into small bowl; add sugar and water. Allow to stand for 5 minutes; mix until smooth. Pour mixture into a large bowl; add flour and olive oil. Mix with your hands to a stiff dough. Knead on a floured board for 10 minutes. Add more water, if necessary.
Place dough ball in an oiled bowl; put in a fairly warm place; allow it to double in size. Punch down and reshape ball. Repeat if you have time. Turn dough onto a floured board; roll to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Place on baking sheet sprayed with olive oil.
Yield: 2 small pizzas or 1 large 9-inch pizza.
