PREP: 1:15
COOK: 20 MINS
TOTAL: 1:35
YIELD: 1 LARGE LOAF
In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine yeast, sugar and
warm water. Let stand 5 minutes until yeast is foamy.
Add 2 cups flour, olive oil and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon or
with a dough hook on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Turn dough
out onto a lightly floured surface and knead by hand 10 minutes,
adding just enough of the remaining flour until a soft, smooth and
elastic dough forms; OR, increase dough hook speed to medium and
knead dough in stand mixer 5 minutes, adding just enough of the
remaining flour until a soft, smooth and elastic dough forms.
Shape dough into a ball; place in an oiled bowl and turn to coat.
Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise 1 hour until doubled.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat
or lightly grease the surface with oil or cooking spray. On a lightly
floured surface, punch down dough, then carefully shape into a
batard/torpedo about 12 inches long. Transfer to prepared baking
sheet. Cover with a tea towel and let rise another 20 minutes until puffy.
Use a serrated knife to make a few 1/4-inch deep slits in the surface
of the loaf. Bake loaf 20 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely
on a cooling rack before slicing.
