Put the dough hook attachment on your mixer and slowly add flour into the yeast mixture on a low speed until the dough isnt sticking to the bowl.

It should all be stuck on the hook when its ready, and just slightly sticky.

Then let the dough knead for about 5 minutes on a medium speed.
-
10
Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the bowl and move the dough around to coat it in oil, so it wont stick.
-

Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour.

(Dont worry about being specific on time Ive let it rise anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours and it still turns out).

It should have grown quite a bit, slightly less than double its size.
-

Punch it down (let that aggression out)!
-
15
Stretch out the dough on a cookie sheet!
-

Feel free to toss it, but I am pretty uncoordinated so Ill leave that to you!
