With just flour, yeast, water, salt, and olive oil, you can create a loaf that tastes better than anything bought from a store.

📜 A SHORT HISTORY OF BREAD

Bread is one of humanity’s oldest foods, dating back over 10,000 years. Early civilizations discovered that grain mixed with water formed dough — and when left near warmth, it rose naturally. Ancient Egyptians refined this process by cultivating yeast, creating the world’s first risen loaves.
Bread became a symbol of life, religion, survival, and love. Shared at tables across continents and centuries, it remains one of the most universal foods ever created.

🧪 FORMATION — HOW THE DOUGH COMES TO LIFE

The magic begins when yeast meets warm water.
It wakes up, feeds on natural sugars, and creates tiny bubbles of gas. These bubbles get trapped in the dough’s gluten network, allowing it to rise, expand, and become soft and airy.
Kneading strengthens this structure. Resting allows the dough to relax and grow. Baking transforms it into a golden, crusty, fragrant loaf.

This is not just cooking — it is transformation.

📝 INGREDIENTS

For One Perfect Homemade Loaf

4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil
1 tablespoon (10 g) dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cups (320 ml) warm water
4 3/4 cups (570 g) plain flour

Optional:

1 tbsp honey or sugar (for sweeter bread)
Extra olive oil for brushing
Sesame seeds, herbs, garlic, or butter for flavor

🍞 INSTRUCTIONS / METHOD

1. Activate the Yeast

Pour warm water (not hot) into a mixing bowl.
Add the yeast and stir gently.
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
(If it foams — the yeast is alive and happy.)

2. Form the Dough

Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture.
Add the flour gradually, stirring with a spoon.
When it becomes thick, transfer to a floured surface.
Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

3. First Rise

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.
Cover with a towel or plastic wrap.
Let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

4. Shape the Dough

Punch down the dough to release air.
Shape into a round or long loaf.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.

5. Second Rise

Let the shaped dough rise again for 20–30 minutes.

6. Bake the Bread

Preheat your oven to 220°C / 425°F.
Brush top with olive oil.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Tap bottom — it should sound hollow when done.

Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

❤️ LOVERS’ TOUCH — BREAD FOR TWO

Bread has always been a food of love — shared by families, couples, and friends.
Knead it together with someone special,
watch it rise like your connection,
and break the first warm slice together.

Spread butter on it…
share a bite…
and taste how simple ingredients can bring two hearts closer.
This bread is love you can eat. 💛🍞
