fresh or dry yeast):\n<ul>\n<li>In a bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in 100 ml of lukewarm water.<\/li>\n<li>Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the dough<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt.<\/li>\n<li>Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture (or the yeast directly if not activated), the remaining water, and olive oil.<\/li>\n<li>Knead the dough well until it becomes smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes with a mixer).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>First rise<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for

minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0C (390\u00b0F) on conventional mode.<\/li>\n<li>Bake the bread for 30-40 minutes or until golden

baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cool<\/strong>:\n<ul>\n<li>Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool before slicing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authentic Homemade bread Recipe for Soft Bread with Hard Flour and Yeast \u2013 The Perfect Balance of Flavor and
