Instructions: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water and yeast. Let stand 10 minutes, or until creamy, then stir well.

Combine flour and salt in a food processor. Add yeast mixture and olive oil and process just until the dough comes together.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 mintues.

Shape dough into a log and cut into 4 equal pieces. Flatten each piece lightly with the palm of your hand to form a disc.

Place discs on a well-oiled cookie sheet and brush tops lightly with olive oil. Cover discs with a large piece of plastic wrap and then cover with a hot, damp cloth. Let stand in a warm place until dough has douled in bulk, about 1 hour. Dough is now ready to be rolled into a crust about 7 inches in diameter.
