Method
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
- Using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Once risen, punch down the dough gently to release excess air. Shape it into a loaf or round ball.
- Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or in a loaf pan, cover it again, and allow it to rise for another 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
