Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Combine flour, warm water, olive oil, dry yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined, then knead for 10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Step 2: Let the Dough Rise
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.
Step 3: Shape the Dough
Punch down the dough and shape it into a cylinder. Divide into three equal parts, form into loaves, and place on a baking sheet. Make shallow cuts on top, and sprinkle with flour.
Step 4: Bake the Bread
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the loaves for 30 minutes until golden brown.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the bread cool on a wire rack, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings like butter, jam, cheese, or dips.
Serving Suggestions
Pair with a bowl of soup or salad. Serve with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or your favorite dipping sauces. Toast and top with avocado, tomatoes, or jam.
