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 your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the warm water and olive oil.
- Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth.
- Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Use a sharp knife to make a few slashes on the top of the loaf for decoration and to help it rise.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
