In a bowl, add warm water, sugar, and yeast. Mix gently and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. The mixture should become foamy. This shows the yeast is active and ready.

Add flour, salt, and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Mix using a spoon until a soft dough forms. The dough should feel slightly sticky but easy to handle.

Place the dough on a clean surface. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes. Use gentle pressure and fold the dough repeatedly. It should become smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean towel. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour. It should double in size.

Punch down the dough gently. Shape it into a loaf or round form. Place it on a baking tray. Let it rest again for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the bread for about 25 to 30 minutes. The top should turn golden brown. The bread should sound hollow when tapped.

Remove the bread from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve while warm. Enjoy with butter or your favorite spread.
