Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour mixture; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Roll each portion into a round shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until puffed and lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and brush with milk for a soft crust.

Let cool slightly before serving.
