Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
- Pour in warm water and olive oil, then mix until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl.
Step 3: First Rise
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Step 4: Shape & Second Rise
- Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a round loaf.
- Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a lightly greased Dutch oven.
- Cover loosely and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Step 5: Bake the Bread
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a Dutch oven, place it inside while preheating.
- If desired, score the top of the dough with a sharp knife for better expansion.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and crusty.
- Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
