Make the Dough
In a bowl, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. In a separate large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead and Rise
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Let the shaped dough rise again for about 30 minutes. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped. Let cool before slicing.
