INGREDIENTS QUANTITY
All-purpose flour 4 cups
Warm water 1 and ¼ cups
Active dry yeast 2 teaspoons
Salt 2 teaspoons
Olive oil 2 tablespoons
Sugar 1 teaspoon
Mixing the Magic:
Combine warm water and sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step ensures that your yeast is active and ready to work its magic.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Slowly add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients, kneading the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shaping and Baking:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round or oval loaves. Place the loaves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
