### Steps to Make the Best Homemade Pizza Dough
1. **Activate the Yeast**: In a small bowl, mix the warm water with sugar and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This is crucial for ensuring your dough rises perfectly.
2. **Mix the Dough**: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
3. **Knead the Dough**: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. This step is essential for developing the gluten network which gives the dough its structure.
4. **First Rise**: Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
5. **Shape the Dough**: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air bubbles and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rest for 10 minutes.
