- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
Instructions
-
Combine the Ingredients:
In a large zip-top bag, combine 1 cup of flour, sugar, yeast, and warm water. Seal the bag and let it sit for 10 minutes, allowing the yeast to activate. -
Add More Ingredients:
Add another cup of flour, olive oil, and salt to the bag. Seal the bag and knead it for 5-7 minutes, ensuring the dough is smooth and combined. -
Shape the Dough:
Add the remaining flour to the bag and shape the dough into a loaf. You may need to remove some excess flour as the dough comes together. -
Let the Dough Rise:
Let the dough rise inside the bag for 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. -
Bake the Bread:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown. -
Enjoy:
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy it fresh out of the oven!
Notes
- If you don’t have a loaf pan, you can shape the dough into a round and bake it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- You can add herbs or garlic to the dough for extra flavor.
- Store any leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
