Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110°F)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large stainless steel bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the mixture and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise in a warm environment for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Punch down the dough and transfer it onto a floured countertop. Shape into a loaf and place in the bread pan with lid.
- Let it rest and rise for about 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Cover the bread pan with lid and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the lid and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
- Store cooled bread in a bread box or sealed plastic bag for freshness.
- For longer storage, slice and freeze in an airtight container.
- You may substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat or bread flour for variation.
