Bread Ingredients

Method

Bread Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Shape the Bread

    Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Cover the loaf and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool

    Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
