Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Warm water
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 30 milliliters Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together using a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a clean bowl lightly greased with olive oil, turning the dough to coat it evenly. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Step 6
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 8
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf or your desired shape. Place the dough on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 9
Cover the dough lightly with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 10
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step 11
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
