Description
A simple and fun method for making homemade bread with minimal mess, resulting in deliciously soft loaves.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Add 1 cup of warm water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 packet of active dry yeast into a large zip-top bag. Seal it and let it rest for 5-10 minutes until it froths.
- Add in 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Seal the bag tightly, and start kneading with your hands.
- Find a warm spot and let your dough rise in the bag for about 30-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Punch down the dough to release the air. Cut it in half to shape into two loaves. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake your loaves for 25-30 minutes until they turn golden brown.
- Let them cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. Customize the bread with herbs or cheese for extra flavor.
