      Water<\/strong> \u2013 200 ml (approx. 0.85 cups), warm (around 100\u00b0F \/ 38\u00b0C)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Sugar<\/strong> \u2013 25g (2 tablespoons)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Active dry yeast<\/strong> \u2013 3g (1 teaspoon)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      All-purpose flour<\/strong> \u2013 about 300g (2 \u00bd cups), add more if needed<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Salt<\/strong> \u2013 1 teaspoon<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      (Optional)<\/em>: Olive oil for brushing, sesame seeds for topping<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \ud83e\udd63 Instructions<\/h2>\n

      Step 1: Activate the Yeast<\/h3>\n

      In a bowl, combine the warm water<\/strong>, sugar<\/strong>, and yeast<\/strong>. Stir gently and let it sit for 5\u201310 minutes<\/strong> until bubbly and frothy. This step helps the yeast wake up and ensures a fluffy rise.<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Mix the Dough<\/h3>\n

      Once the yeast is activated, add in the flour<\/strong> and salt<\/strong>. Mix everything together with a spoon or spatula until you get a sticky dough.
      Note:<\/em> You don\u2019t need to knead it \u2014 just make sure all the flour is incorporated.<\/p>\n

      Step 3: First Rise<\/h3>\n

      Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rest in a warm spot for 45\u201360 minutes<\/strong>, or until doubled in size.<\/p>\n

      Step 4: Shape the Dough<\/h3>\n

      Lightly flour your hands and surface. Pour out the dough, gently shape it into a loaf or round ball \u2014 no need to knead or punch it down.<\/p>\n

      Place it in a greased loaf pan<\/strong> or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
      Optional:<\/em> Brush with olive oil and sprinkle sesame or chia seeds on top.<\/p>\n

      Step 5: Second Rise<\/h3>\n

      Let the shaped dough rise again for about 20\u201330 minutes<\/strong> while you preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Step 6: Bake<\/h3>\n

      Bake for 30\u201335 minutes<\/strong>, or until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
      Let cool slightly before slicing (if you can wait that long!).<\/p>\n
