In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5 minutes.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased baking sheet.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
This bread is best served warm, fresh from the oven. It's perfect for toast, sandwiches, or simply with butter.
