Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast until well combined. Create a small well in the center of the dry ingredients to pour the wet ingredients into.
Step 2
Slowly add the warm water and olive oil to the well in the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, making sure to incorporate all the flour from the sides of the bowl.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, covering it with a damp cloth.
Step 4
Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size. Gently punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf, placing it in a greased loaf pan.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
