Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Make a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes. Shape it into a loaf and place it in the prepared pan.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with butter, olive oil, or your favorite spread.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or herbs on top before baking.
- This bread is best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1–2 days.
- You can also make mini rolls by dividing the dough into smaller portions and baking for 12–15 minutes.
