Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Make a well in the center.
   • Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Pour the yeast mixture into the well in the flour.
   • Add the olive oil.
   • Gradually mix the flour into the wet ingredients until it forms a sticky dough.
2. Knead the Dough:
   • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
   • Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
3. First Rise:
   • Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl.
   • Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
4. Shape the Bread:
   • Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air.
   • Divide the dough into smaller portions, shaping each one into a ball.
   • Form each ball into the desired shape (as seen in the image, elongated rolls).
5. Second Rise:
   • Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
   • Cover with a cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
6. Bake:
   • Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
   • Just before baking, make a deep cut along the top of each loaf using a sharp knife.
   • Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
7. Cool:
   • Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack.
