Breads and Baked Goods
Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven. This baked good is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack throughout the day. With a beautifully crusty exterior and a soft, fluffy interior, prepare your taste buds for a treat!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional: herbs and spices for flavor
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add in the olive oil, salt, and gradually incorporate the flour, one cup at a time, stirring until a dough begins to form.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into your desired form (loaf, rolls, etc.). Place it on a baking sheet or into a loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Allow cooling before slicing.
