4 cups flour 1 packet yeast 1 ½ cups warm water 2 tbsp sugar 1 tsp salt 2 tbsp oil

Ingredients

STEP

01

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy. This ensures your yeast is active and ready to rise!

STEP

02

In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add activated yeast mixture and oil. Stir until dough forms. Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

STEP

03

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size. Warm, draft-free spaces work best!

STEP

04

Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased bread pan. Let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.

STEP

STEP
