Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

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

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until it is 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.

  4. 4

    Shape the Bread

    Punch down the risen dough and divide it into smaller portions. Shape them into rolls, loaves, or desired shapes.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Let the bread cool slightly before serving in a basket.
