  • 1½ cups lukewarm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Half tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

INGREDIENT NOTES:

ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR:

  • Use the all-purpose flour to make this homemade bread, and it will give the dough its main structure. It will also give it a soft, tender, and slightly chewy texture and help produce a beautiful golden crust. If needed, we would use whole-wheat flour instead.

INSTANT YEAST:

  • Add the instant yeast to help the dough rise and give it a light, airy texture. It will also form bubbles throughout the dough, giving the bread a soft and open crumb. If needed, we would use active dry yeast instead.

LUKEWARM WATER:

  • Use the lukewarm water to combine all the ingredients and make the sticky bread dough. It will also activate the yeast and help the dough rise properly as it rests. If needed, we would use room-temperature water instead.

OLIVE OIL:

  • Add the olive oil to give the homemade bread a slightly softer texture and a mild flavor. It will also make the dough easier to handle. If needed, we would use avocado oil instead.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, mix all-purpose flour, salt, instant yeast, and sugar in the bowl.
  2. Add the lukewarm water, then mix olive oil in the dough.
  3. Cover the bowl and leave it for twelve hours, then flour the work surface lightly.
  4. Put the dough on the surface, then sprinkle some flour on it and gently fold the edges.
  5. Now, place the shaped dough on the baking paper and cover it loosely for 45 minutes.
  6. Warm the oven to 230°C and bake the dough for forty-five minutes.
  7. Lastly, cool the bread for sixty minutes on the wire rack and serve.
