Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 480 grams all-purpose flour
- 360 milliliters warm water
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 15 grams sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 30 milliliters olive oil (or any neutral oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture is frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, about one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands. Continue until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release excess air. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into rolls.
Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
