Make something good.

  1. 01

    Dissolve salt and yeast in lukewarm water

  2. 02

    Add sifted wheat flour and olive oil into lukewarm water. Mix.

  3. 03

    After thoroughly being mixed and one is left with a dough that is of a uniform texture and consistency, cover and leave to rest in warm place for 45 minutes.

  4. 04

    Take out and begin to work the dough once more, stretching it and folding it over itself on all four corners; adding flour to surface to prevent its sticking. Cover and leave it to rest for about 30 minutes, during which time the dough will rise.

  5. 05

    Repeat this process, by stretching the dough and folding it over itself on all sides, allowing for air pockets to be formed (which will make the bread airy when it is baked). Cover and allow to rest for 30 minutes.

  6. 06

    Repeat the above process once more and leave the dough to settle for 30 minutes while covered.

  7. 07

    Take up dough and place on baking sheet, and cut the dough into equal parts to form into smaller, separate loaves (elongated).

  8. 08

    Place dough in pre-heated oven and bake at 430 F for 18 minutes.
