Italian Olive Oil Loaf
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Combine the warm water (110 degrees), yeast, sugar, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl. Stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Gradually add 2 cups of flour to create a smooth, pliable dough. Continue kneading the dough with additional flour until it reaches a soft, non-sticky consistency.
2
Transfer the kneaded dough to a medium-sized bowl greased with oil or cooking spray. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until it has doubled in size.
3
Gently deflate the dough by punching it down, then shape it into a ball or loaf form. Place the shaped dough onto a greased cookie sheet, ensuring it is evenly spaced.
4
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 15 to 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) during this time.
5
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color.
