Homemade bread is always better and cheaper. I’ve been baking bread for more than 10 years. You might think it’s hard, but the hardest part is waiting for the dough to rise. Once you have figured out the best time to make bread, you’re all set.
Ingredients:
1. Flour- about 3cups
2. Salt- 1tsp
3. Yeast-1tsp
4. Water-1cup
5. Olive oil
Mix the first 4 ingredients and make a dough. It should be soft and a little sticky, but easy to come off your hands. Add about 1tbsp (15ml.) of olive oil and knead a little, then use just a bit more olive oil to coat it, put the dough in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about an hour until it has doubled in size. After about an hour take it out and knead a bit, shape the bread, coat it with olive oil and let it rise for about 30 min to an hour. After about 45 min of rising, preheat the oven to 400° and bake for 25min.
Note: The rising time will depend on how warm it is in your kitchen, if it’s colder it would take longer for the dough to rise. You don’t have to add oil to the dough if you don’t want to, just some to coat it, so it doesn’t stick to the bowl and for the second rising to give it a nice toasty color.
