- 3 cups Organic All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Instant Yeast
Wet Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups Warm Water 110°F
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.
- Gradually add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

- Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Notes
For added texture, sprinkle sesame or poppy seeds on the loaf before baking. Experiment with additional flavors, such as garlic powder or dried herbs, mixed into the dough.
