1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top, stir gently, and let it sit for 8-10 minutes. The mixture should become frothy as the yeast activates.
2. Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the King Arthur Pizza Dough Flour and salt. Create a small well in the center. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil (if using). Stir the ingredients with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough starts to form. 
3. Knead the dough: Once the dough begins to come together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. Add a small amount of flour if needed, but be careful not to add too much.
4. First proof: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5. 24-48 hour proof (for better flavor): After an hour and a half do a gentle stretch and pull, reshape your dough ball, cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.  
6. Bring to room temperature: Once you’re ready to make the pizza, remove the dough from the refrigerator and let it sit on the counter for 1 hour to come to room temperature.
7. Punch down and shape: After the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a floured surface and begin stretching it out by hand, working to form a round shape. You can also use a rolling pin or dough roller to help shape the dough to your desired size.
8. Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F. If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
9. Assemble your pizza: Transfer your shaped dough onto a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
10. Bake your pizza: Use a pizza peel (or a flat baking sheet) to carefully transfer your pizza and parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone (or directly onto a baking sheet if you’re not using a stone). Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
11. Serve and enjoy: Remove the pizza from the oven, slice it up, and enjoy your Perfectly Pizzalicious Homemade Pizza! 

Optional: If you like a crispier crust, brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking.
