Toppings (optional)
Method
Preparing the Dough
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shaping and Baking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shape the Bread
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.
Optional Toppings
If using, brush the tops of the shaped bread with water and sprinkle with sesame seeds, garlic powder, or dried herbs.
Bake the Bread
Place the shaped bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
