["MIX DOUGH", "Mix sugar, yeast, oil, and 2 cups cold tap water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Let sit 10 minutes for yeast to dissolve and reactivate. To mix by hand, combine the ingredients in a large bowl.", "In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. ""The biggest mistake people make when mixing dough is to put the salt with the yeast at the beginning. It kills the yeast, and the dough will never proof."" On low speed, gradually spoon flour mixture into yeast solution and mix until dough is elastic, fairly smooth, and you can pull it cleanly off the dough hook, 15 minutes (you may need to add up to 1 cup more flour if it's too sticky). To mix by hand, stir flour mixture into yeast until well combined. Knead in the bowl until a ball of dough forms, sprinkling in more flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to your hands. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead vigorously until dough is elastic and fairly smooth, about 15 minutes. Tuck edges of dough under to form a tight ball.", "Transfer dough ball to a clean bowl and cover with a wet but not dripping kitchen towel, shaping it around dough. Let rise 1 hour. ""This resting period makes the flavor more complex.""
