Basic Bread
2 ½ Cups flour (sifted)
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
3 tsp. yeast
Put flour in a bowl, make a spoon whole in a section, put salt and in the opposite of it put yeast and sugar.
Be careful not to mix directly the yeast and the salt otherwise, the bread will be crumbly.
(Note that the yeast is for the dough to rise and when mixed with salt would defeat the purpose)
Mix all the dry ingredients.
3 tsp. olive oil
Add Oil.
1 Cup warm water
Continue mixing by adding warm water little by little until the right consistency of the dough is reached.
Remove the dough from the bowl and knead in a floured board until smooth and elastic.
Form into a ball and put in a greased bowl.
Cover with towel and let rest in a warm place for 30 – 45 minutes or until the dough doubled in bulk.
Punch down and knead for 1 minute and form into desired shapes or simply put it in a loaf pan.
(divide the dough into two if a loaf pan is used)
Let rise for 25 minutes.
Bake in 180 – 190 degrees C for about 30 minutes.
