Bread Dough Preparation

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

Combine Ingredients
Once the yeast is activated, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Filling and Shaping

Prepare Fillings
While the dough is rising, prepare your desired fillings by chopping any herbs or ingredients that need preparation.

Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

Add Fillings
Sprinkle your selected fillings evenly over the rolled-out dough. Leave a small border around the edges.

Roll and Seal
Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.

Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Cool
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
