Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rise and Rest: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
Roll Out the Dough: Punch down the dough, divide as needed, and roll out into pizza crusts. Add your favorite toppings and bake at a high temperature until golden and bubbly.

You can use a combination of whole wheat and all-purpose flour for added flavor and texture.
For a crispy crust, preheat your baking surface (pizza stone or baking sheet) before placing the pizza in the oven.
