Bread Preparation
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until the dough begins to come together.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

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.

Shape the Loaves
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a loaf and place them in greased loaf pans.

Second Rise
Cover the loaves with a damp cloth and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
