Ruscona - Shine

Ingredients:
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 10g salt
- 7g dry yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 300ml warm water
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Combine the sugar, warm water, and yeast in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Mix everything together to form a soft, sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rise again for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Optionally, make a few slashes on top of your loaf with a sharp knife for a more artisanal look.

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy your delicious homemade bread with butter, your favorite spreads, or as the base for a hearty sandwich!
