Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 10 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 30 milliliters olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, gradually mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free location for 60-90 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release excess air and knead it briefly. Shape the dough into your desired form, such as a loaf, rolls, or pizza crust.
If making bread or rolls, place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet or in a loaf pan. Cover lightly and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Bake the bread or rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the crust sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
