Mix the ingredients together with a spoon, fork, or whisk.

Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl, add 3 cups of bread flour.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour.

Add another 1/4 cup of sugar to the flour mixture.

Mix the flour, salt, and sugar together with a wooden spoon or whisk.

After 10 minutes, add the bubbly yeast mixture to the flour mixture.

Mix until the dough is not sticky, adding more flour if necessary.

Remove the spoon and knead the dough with your hands in the bowl for a few minutes.

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until smooth.

Place the kneaded dough in a bowl coated with olive oil and cover it.

Let the dough rise for 60 minutes.

Prepare two small bread pans by buttering the sides and bottom.

After 60 minutes, take the dough out and cut it in half.

Roll each half into a log shape to fit into the pans.

Place the rolled dough into the buttered pans and cover them.

Let the dough rise in the pans for another 60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Bake the bread for 30 minutes.
