Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Activate the Yeast
- In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast.
- Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy (this means the yeast is active).
2️⃣ Make the Dough
- Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually mix in the flour, stirring until a dough forms.
3️⃣ Knead the Dough
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4️⃣ First Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour (or until doubled in size).
5️⃣ Shape & Second Rise
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
- Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
6️⃣ Bake to Perfection
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
7️⃣ Cool & Enjoy
- Let the bread cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Enjoy warm with butter, jam, or as a sandwich!
