Let's bake simple homemade bread Grab lukewarm water, add yeast & a little sugar. Wait 5-10 mins till it gets foamy. Mix in salt, olive oil, then add flour. Stir to make rough dough. Knead 8-10 mins till smooth. Place in oiled bowl, cover with damp towel. Let rise 1-2 hours until doubled in size. Punch dough down, shape into a loaf. Put in bread pan, rise another 30-45 mins. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake 30-35 mins. Tap bottom — sounds hollow? Done! Cool on rack before slicing. Enjoy your fresh homemade bread! - @lee687932
