Instructions:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 3-4 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes frothy.

Bread: Shape the dough into a loaf or rolls, place it on a baking sheet, let it rise for about 30 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Pizza: Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape, add your favourite toppings, and bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Pastries or Rolls: Divide the dough into smaller portions, fill with savoury or sweet fillings, shape as desired, let them rise for about 20-30 minutes, then bake until golden brown.
