In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air, then shape it into a loaf or your preferred shape.
Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or into a greased loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 220Β°C (425Β°F). If desired, make a few slashes on the top of the dough with a sharp knife for decoration.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
