I love Greek bread and I try making it at home. It's good, but not great. Somehow when I get it at the bakery it tastes better.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups of flour
- 1 package of active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of warm water
- 2 T olive oil
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt and mix well.
2. Add the warm water and oil to the mixing bowl and mix until the dough comes together.
3. Using your hands, knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.
4. Grease a large bowl with olive oil, then place the dough in the bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
6. Once the dough has risen, place it back onto a floured surface and knead it gently. Shape the dough into a round loaf or whatever shape you like and place it onto a baking sheet.
7. Bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown on the outside.
8. Serve it warm with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt.
