Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups (500g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon (4g) instant dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons (12g) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) lukewarm water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the olive oil and lukewarm water. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 4-6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a long, cylindrical shape, about 8-10 inches long.
- Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Before baking, make a few shallow cuts across the top of each loaf.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing and filling.
Notes
- Use a Kitchen Scale: Measuring ingredients by weight provides more accurate results than using volume measurements.
- Proof Your Yeast: Ensure your yeast is active by mixing it with warm water and a pinch of sugar. If it foams, it’s good to go.
- Knead Thoroughly: Kneading develops the gluten, which is essential for the bread’s structure and texture.
- Control the Rise: Over-proofing can lead to a deflated loaf. Keep an eye on the dough and adjust the rising time as needed.
- Slash the Loaves: Making shallow cuts on top of the loaves allows them to expand properly in the oven.
