In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing well with a wooden spoon or your hands.

Once the dough starts to come together, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle or desired shape.

Place the rolled dough on a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.

Add your favorite toppings and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
