For 1 serving

Ingredients

500 g all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 packet of dry yeast (7 g) or 25 g fresh yeast
350 ml warm water
2 tablespoons oil

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Into a large bowl, add the flour, salt and sugar. Add the dry yeast (or fresh yeast dissolved in a little water) and pour in the warm water. Stir with a wooden spoon or by hand until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
Adding the oil Add the oil to the almost-finished dough and briefly work it in. Do not knead the dough – just mix so the ingredients come together.
Rising Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rise for about 40 minutes. The dough should noticeably increase in volume.
Shaping and preparing for baking Transfer the risen dough into a loaf pan. Line the pan with baking paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Baking Place the bread in an oven preheated to 200 °C and bake for 35–40 minutes, until the crust turns golden. You can also tell the bread is done by the hollow sound when tapping the bottom.
Cooling After baking, let the bread cool on a wire rack so it stays nicely crispy.
