- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
- Make sure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- You can add herbs or spices for extra flavor.
- Store bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh.
