Preparation Steps

• In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
• Add the olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
• Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes, then bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
• Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread!
