Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 packet Active dry yeast
  • 1.5 cups Warm water

Instructions 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing.
