Ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour
- Warm Water
- Active Dry Yeast
- Salt
- Sugar
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining 1 cup warm water (100°F-110°F) and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir until combined.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth. If sticky, add flour gradually.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the dough to release air, shape into a loaf, and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Allow it to rise again for 30 minutes while preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
