Ingredients 

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1.5 cups warm water 110°F
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions 

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in salt, oil, and 2 cups of flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough is stiff.
  3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  5. Punch down dough and divide into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a round ball. Place on a greased baking sheet and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
