Servings: 10
Calories: 120kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups Warm Water
- 1 1/2 Tbsps Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Yeast
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 2 tsps Salt
- 3 cups Flour
Instructions
- Pour 1 1/2 cups of warm water into a mixing bowl. Then stir in the sugar and one tablespoon of yeast. Give it a quick stir, to cover all the yeast with water.
- Let your yeast sit long enough for it to proof -- your yeast should start to bubble. (It looks a bit like sea foam.) Once your yeast starts to bubble, you can move on to the next step!
- Next, add in your salt, oil, and flour. Mix it all together so that your dough becomes a sticky ball.
- Preheat your oven for one minute, then turn it off. This creates a warm place for your dough to rise. (You only want to preheat it for a minute though, so the oven doesn't get too hot, because then it will kill your yeast.)
- Put your dough onto a cookie sheet and form it into a ball. Place your dough in the warm oven and let it rise for one hour. Then take your dough out of the oven.
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When the oven has reached 450 degrees, place your bread in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the top of your bread is golden brown.
- Then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack. Serve immediately or save for later!
Notes
Proofing your yeast: You want to proof your yeast before you add the other ingredients, to make sure that it works. The best way to do this, is to add the sugar to the warm water, then add the yeast and give it a quick stir, just to make sure all the yeast is wet. Then let it sit. It should start to foam pretty quickly. When it turns foamy, that's how you know it's good to go!
Letting your dough rise: Your dough needs to rise prior to baking, in order to get a light and airy bread. You can let it sit on the counter for an hour or to speed the process up, turn your oven on and preheat it for 1 minute. Then turn it off. This creates a warm place for your dough to rise, without being so warm that it kills the yeast. Place your dough in the oven for one hour and let it rise.
