In the bowl of a standing mixer, put flour and yeast (or in a large mixing bowl if kneading by hand) and mix/stir for one minute.
Add oil and sugar, and mix for about one minute.
Slowly add water and mix to form the dough.*Because each flour is different, stored differently, and has different absorption capacities, the amount of liquid will almost always change. Even if you always use the same flour, it may be that on different days, the flour will absorb more liquid than before. So, start with one cup of water and gradually add more until the dough is soft but not sticky.
Add the salt and knead for 8-12 minutes (It helps the gluten form and for the dough to be elastic with better structure).
Grease the dough with a little bit of oil, cover with a kitchen towel or loosely with saran wrap and let the dough rise until doubled (place the bowl somewhere warm).
