20 minute homemade bread

Ingredients

- 3 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon sugar

- 1 cup warm water

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.

3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the warm water and olive oil.

4. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 1 minute until it becomes smooth.

6. Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on the prepared baking sheet.

7. Use a sharp knife to make a few slashes on the top of the loaf for decoration and to help it rise.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
