2 cups all-purpose flourflour
1 teaspoon instant yeastyeast
1/3 teaspoon saltsalt
1 teaspoon olive oilolive-oil
2/3 cup lukewarm waterwater

Instructions (5 steps)

01In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Then add the olive oil and water and stir to combine, then knead with your hands (or use a kitchen machine with a dough hook) until it comes together in a smooth dough*.
02Let it sit, covered with a clean kitchen towel, in a warm spot until it doubles in size (about 1 1/2-2 hours).
03Preheat the oven to 200 °C or 400 °F.
04Form a bread loaf and carve the surface of the dough lightly with a knife (I've made one long cut across the bread).
05Then bake the bread in the oven until the surface is golden**. You can knock on the bottom of the bread and when it sounds hollow it's done!
