Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan.
Carefully measure and add the all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquid ingredients completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour pile, avoiding contact with the liquid below, and add the active dry yeast.
Place the pan in your bread machine, lock it in place, and select the Basic or White Bread program on your machine.
Set the crust setting to your preferred level (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and allow the dough to mix, rise, and bake according to your machine’s program (typically around 3 hours).
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine using oven mitts, and let the bread cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes.
Remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
