Preparation
1. Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt until well combined.
Mixing the Dough
3. Combine Ingredients
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the activated yeast mixture along with olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
First Rise
5. Let Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Shaping and Second Rise
6. Shape the Dough
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release excess air. Shape it into a loaf or divide it for smaller rolls.
7. Second Rise
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or on a baking tray. Cover again with the towel and allow it to rise for another 30-45 minutes.
