Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Slowly add the warm water and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spoon until the dough begins to come together.
- Once the dough has formed, knead it on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet or into a loaf pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
- For fluffier bread, ensure the water is warm, not hot, and avoid overworking the dough.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Reheating: Wrap in foil and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10 minutes or microwave slices for 20-30 seconds.
