Method
Bread Service Directions
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Bread
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf or divide into smaller portions for rolls. Place on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan.
Second Rise
Cover the shaped dough with a cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Bread
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped on the bottom.
