Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the water, flour, salt, olive oil, and yeast.

Mix until the ingredients are well combined and a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in the prepared pan.

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Let the bread cool completely before slicing and enjoying.
