Quick Bread Recipe
This quick bread recipe involves mixing flour, yeast, water, and a few simple ingredients to form dough, which is then kneaded, allowed to rise, and baked until golden. The result is a delicious homemade loaf, perfect for any meal.
- bowl
- wooden spoons
- 3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 pack active dry yeast
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp olive oil
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir until it forms a dough. If the dough is too sticky, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour gradually.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes, until it puffs up.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
