Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Combine 3/4 cup warm water, 1 packet active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon sugar in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and let it sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly.
- Add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the bag. Seal it tight and knead the bag gently for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the bag in a warm spot and let it rise for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last few minutes of rising.
- Remove the dough from the bag onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Transfer to a greased loaf pan.
- Let the shaped loaf rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Cool the loaf in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a deeper flavor, prepare the dough in advance and let it rise in the fridge overnight. To use an air fryer, preheat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes.
