1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Let it cool before slicing and serving.

This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
Make sure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
