  2. Add remaining 1/2 cup water, flour, sugar, salt, and olive oil; mix until a dough is formed.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until firm, about 5 minutes. (Or use your Kitchen Aid mixer to knead the dough).
  4. Lightly oil a large bowl and add dough.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place; let rise until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  6. Divide dough into 8, 2 oz. pieces.
