In a large mixing bowl combine 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast with 1 ½ cups warm water and 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5‑7 minutes until frothy, indicating the yeast is alive. Add 3 ½ cups all‑purpose flour and 1 teaspoon kosher salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 8‑10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should be tacky but not sticky.
