Method
To Make the Grinder Bread

Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil and salt, then gradually add flour until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
