👨🍳 Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add the olive oil and salt, then gradually mix in the flour until a soft, elastic dough forms.
3. Knead the dough for about 8–10 minutes, then cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a baking pot or on a lined baking tray. Let it rest for another 20–30 minutes.
5. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
6. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
7. Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
