Bread Basket Ingredients
Method
Bread Basket Directions
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
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. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the 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.
Shape the Dough
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into smaller portions. Shape each portion into rolls or loaves as desired.
Second Rise
Place shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Serve
