Dough Ingredients
Method
Dough Preparation
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 110°F) with sugar and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and salt.
Combine Ingredients
Once the yeast is activated, pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until combined.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Shape the Dough
Punch down the risen dough and divide it into small portions. Shape each portion into a ball or desired shape.
Second Rise
Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a cloth, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Egg Wash
Beat the egg in a small bowl. Brush the tops of the dough with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake
Bake the dough in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool and Serve
Remove the breads from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter.
