Ingredients
  

Main
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Loaf pan (9x5 inches)
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Kitchen towel or plastic wrap

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Stir in the yeast and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Add yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Shape into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For a crusty exterior, add steam during the first 10 minutes of baking by placing a pan of hot water in the oven.
