Mix warm water with sugar and yeast. Stir, cover and let it rest for about 5 minutes to activate the yeast.

Once yeast is activated, add flour in the mixing bowl along with salt and oil. Give it a mix and make a well in the center. Pour the activated yeast into the well. Using a rubber spatula, give it a mix to form a rough dough. Now, if you are using a stand mixer, attach the dough hook and knead at speed 3 for 12 minutes. If you kneading by hand, scrape the dough in a lightly floured countertop or wooden board and knead until it’s smooth and elastic. It should take about 12 minutes.

Once the dough is ready, make a rough round ball and place it on either the same mixing bowl or a separate one that's lightly brushed with oil. Cover it with clear wrap/kitchen towel and keep it in a warm place. Give it a couple of hours to rise and double in size.

Once the bread dough rises and doubles in size scrape it carefully to a board. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and pre-heat oven to 180C. Place the bread dough on the baking sheet and form a round shape. Cover it and let it sit for 30 more minutes to get it fluffy.

Finally score it lightly on top and bake for 25 to 30 mins or until the bread is golden brown on top.
