Meet the Mighty Bread

This loaf is not just any loaf; it’s a glorious creation that can be the star of your meals. Whether you want to slice it for your breakfast toast or whip it into a sandwich, it’s got the versatility to take you anywhere. And who could forget how amazing fresh bread smells while it’s baking? Let’s get started!

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Just throw everything in there like you own the place!
Make a little well in the center and pour in the warm water. If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle in some olive oil too for that extra touch.
Stir until all the ingredients come together. You want a messy dough that clings to your fingers like it’s playing hard to get.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. Think of it as giving your dough a little workout.
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size. This is its time in the limelight!
Once the dough has risen, punch it down (yes, literally), and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes or until it’s puffed up like a happy little cloud.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you wait. Once it’s ready, pop the loaf in and let it bake for 30-35 minutes, until it’s golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Once baked, let it cool on a wire rack. Pat yourself on the back, you majestic baker, you!

Now that you’ve created your masterpiece, slice it up and enjoy. Whether you’re slathering butter on it or using it to hold together a delicious sandwich, this bread is bound to impress. Happy baking!
