Place 1/4 of the warm water in a large bowl and sprinkle a pinch of sugar and all of the yeast into the water. Stir until dissolved and let sit in a warm, draft-free location for 5 minutes. Add remaining water and oil and stir well. Add all remaining ingredients and stir together until you can no longer work the dough with a spoon. Turn out on a lightly floured counter. Pat the dough into a ball and flatten from you with a rolling motion. Rotate the dough one quarter each time you repeat this process. Continue kneading the dough for 5 to 10 minutes. Place the dough in a large greased bowl and cover it with a clean towel. Place it in a warm, draft-free location and let rise for 50 to 60 minutes.
