Ingredients
- 1 cup (240ml) warm water
- 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (10g) sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) salt
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoons (20g) mixed seeds (flax, chia, sesame, or sunflower seeds)
Instructions
1. Activate the Yeast:
The first step in any yeast-based bread recipe is activating the yeast. Start by combining 1 cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. The water should be warm to the touch (ideally between 100°F to 110°F, or 37°C to 43°C), but not too hot, as this could kill the yeast. Sprinkle the yeast over the top of the water and give it a gentle stir. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes. During this time, the yeast will begin to bubble and foam, which means it’s active and ready to use. This step ensures that your dough will rise properly and result in a fluffy, airy texture.
