Mix sugar and yeast in 1 cup of  lukewarm water and   1 cup of flour allow to bubble , This indicates the activation of yeast. This take around 15 to 20 minutes .. If small bubbles doesn’t  occur ,it shows that the yeast is not activated and you will not get a good dough. So make sure the yeast is good before making. Also take care not to use boiling or hot water because the yeast will not be activated too and again, the dough will not rise.

Cover the dough with a wet towel in order to avoid drying out and leave in a warm place( I keep it in microwave ) to rise to almost double the size.
