Frstly, “bloom” the yeast by sprinkling the sugar and yeast in the warm water.

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl.
Make a well in the middle and add the olive oil and bloomed yeast mixture.
Mix until a shaggy dough begins to form using a spoon.
Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface and knead for 10-15 minutes.
Then grease a clean, large bowl with olive oil and place the dough inside
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface.
After that, preheat the oven as high as your oven will allow, between 450-500˚F (230-260˚C).
Place a pizza stone, heavy baking sheet (turn upside down so the surface is flat), or cast iron skillet in the oven.
Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce: Add the salt to the can of tomatoes and puree with an immersion blender, or transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth.
Take a portion and start by poking the surface with your fingertips once the dough has rested.
Then, stretch and press the dough into a thin round.
