Bread Ingredients

Method

Bread Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then turn it out onto a floured surface. 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 into a greased loaf pan.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

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

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with sea salt butter, tzatziki, and apple butter.
