1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.
2
Add Wet Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and vegetable oil.
3
Mix the Dough
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add a little more flour.

4
Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5
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.

6
Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
7
Prepare for Baking
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan and cover it with the cloth again. Let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
8
Preheat the Oven
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9
Bake the Bread
Once the dough has risen, bake it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

10
Cool the Bread
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11
Slice and Serve
Once the bread has cooled, slice it with a serrated knife and serve as desired, either plain or with toppings.
