Homemade Bread

1.In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

3.Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.

5.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan.

6.Cover and let it rise for another 30-40 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

7.Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and enjoy your freshly baked homemade bread!
