Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Making the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add in flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

    Kneading

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

  3. 3

    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.

    Shaping the Bread

    Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf or rolls. Place in a greased baking pan.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

    Baking

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool before slicing.
