Ingredients
| 1 tbsp | yeast |
| 1 cup (240 ml) | warm water at 110°F (43°C) |
| 1.5 tsp | salt |
| 1 tbsp | sugar |
| 2.5-2.75 cups (315-345 g) | all-purpose flour |
| 4 tbsp (60 ml) | olive oil |
| as needed | butter, for brushing |
Instructions
- When ready, warm the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the oil, water, yeast, sugar and salt. Wait about five minutes for the yeast to activate.
- Sift in one cup of flour and combine with the dough hook for three to five minutes. Sift and work in another cup of flour.
- Continue adding the flour in 1/4-cup increments until a soft dough forms. Work the dough for eight minutes total.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth. Shape into a ball, return to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for half an hour.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide into four portions. Roll each piece into a long skinny loaf nine to ten inches (23-25 cm) long. Arrange on the baking tray, leaving at least two inches (5 cm) between loaves.
- Cover the loaves with greased plastic and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about one hour.
- Bake for 25 minutes. When out of the oven, generously brush the tops with butter, cover with a dish towel and cool at least an hour before serving.
