A quick and easy homemade bread recipe using self-rising flour. Perfect for beginners and requires minimal ingredients.
3 cups self-rising flour
1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour, sugar, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.
Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10 minutes to rise slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
