Prepare a 12” pizza pan with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray. Click for a 12” pizza pan with high sides.

In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water (110 degrees). The temperature is right when it just barely feels warm to your fingers. Water that is too hot will kill the yeast.

Let the yeast mixture stand for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
