Ingredients

Dipping Sauce
Bread Preparation
1. Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
5. Shape the Loaf
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller pieces for individual rolls.
6. Second Rise
Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
7. Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Dipping Sauce Preparation
9. Combine Ingredients
In a small bowl, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
10. Season
Season the dipping sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
