Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour For best texture
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water Adjust as needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional) For added richness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the water and olive oil (if using). Mix with a wooden spoon until just combined.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Form the dough into a loaf shape and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. Slice and enjoy with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use all-purpose flour for best results. Store in a clean kitchen towel and store in an airtight container for 2-3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
