Step 1
Combine all ingredients for the yeast slurry in a cup and let the slurry rest, covered with plastic wrap, for 5 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate.
Step 2
Put all dry ingredients for the dough in a large bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon to combine. Add water, oil, and the yeast slurry. Mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients come together, then continue working the dough by hand for at least 10 minutes to develop the gluten. The dough should be smooth and elastic. If the dough is too wet and sticky, sprinkle in more flour until it clears the sides of the bowl.
Step 3
Divide the dough into 14 equally sized dough balls and let them rise, covered, until double in size or for at least one hour.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 500°F.

With a rolling pin, roll the dough balls into 6-inch size circles and top with your favorite toppings such as pizza sauce or pesto, pepperoni, cheese, olives, mushrooms, green peppers, onions, spinach, or broccoli.
