In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, and mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) after the dough has doubled.
Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover and let it rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For the red pepper spread, combine roasted red peppers, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning to taste.
Allow bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving with the red pepper spread.
