One-Hour Homemade Bread
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/4 cups warm water, 105-115°F
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing
Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the warm water and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the instant yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes, or until foamy. This activates the yeast.

Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and fine sea salt.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a very small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time. Form the dough into a round or oblong loaf shape.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper. Place the shaped loaf onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 15-20 minutes. The dough should puff up slightly, but won't necessarily double in size.

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 400°F. Once the dough has risen, bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200-210°F. If you tap the bottom of the loaf, it should sound hollow.
