Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix warm water and sugar; sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add salt and olive oil (if using) to the mixture; stir well. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, using a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or plastic wrap; let rise in a warm place for about one hour until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the dough gently; turn it onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place in a greased 9×5-inch bread pan and cover again to rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown; it should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  6. Allow cooling in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
