Measure 2 cups flour in a large mixing bowl.

Add sugar, salt, and yeast to the flour and stir to combine.

Add 2 cups warm water and stir until combined, resembling pancake batter.

Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.

Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil and stir just to incorporate.

Add 3 cups all-purpose flour and stir with a spoon, then use your hands if needed.

Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface.

Knead the dough until smooth, flouring your work surface if the dough is too sticky.

Continue kneading until you have a soft dough; if kneading too slowly or stopping, the dough may stick to the work surface.

Gently poke the dough; if it springs back, you're finished kneading.

Lightly oil a bowl and return the dough to it, coating the dough with oil.

Pat down the dough slightly, cover with plastic wrap and a towel, and leave it to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
