Equipment

• Stand mixer or hand mixer
• Large mixing bowl
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Wooden spoon or dough whisk
• Baking sheet or bread stone
• Oven

Ingredients

  

• 1 1/2 cups warm water around 100°F to 110°F
• 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

 

• Activate the Yeast: In the mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy and bubbly.
• Mix the Dough: Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the bowl. Mix the dough using a stand mixer or hand mixer until it becomes shaggy.
• Knead the Dough: Gradually add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour, one cup at a time, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or knead the dough by hand for about 10 minutes.
• First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
• Shape the Dough: Gently deflate the dough and shape it into a round or oblong loaf. Place the dough onto a baking sheet or bread stone lined with parchment paper.
• Second Rise: Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has puffed up slightly.
• Bake the Bread: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake the bread for 25-35 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
• Cool the Bread: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
