Ingredients:
1 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour
Directions:
Start by dissolving the yeast and sugar in a cup of warm water in a large bowl. Give it about 5 minutes to become nice and frothy. Add the salt, and then gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the bowl’s sides. Once combined, knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place your dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Pop it into a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise again for another 30 minutes. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it turns a lovely golden brown. Let it cool before slicing into it. Enjoy your homemade bread!
