Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
  3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. 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.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool before slicing.

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.
