Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms. You can use a spoon, spatula, or your hands for this step.
Transfer the dough directly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula or damp fingers.
Place the loaf pan in a warm area to rest for 10 minutes. This brief resting period allows the yeast to begin activating.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
