Ingredients:
350 ml of water at room temperature
1 tablespoon of sugar
8 grams of dry yeast
25 ml of sunflower oil
500 grams of flour, plus extra for dusting

PREPARATION:
Yeast Activation: In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir gently, then cover and allow to sit for 5 minutes. This step activates the yeast, preparing it for the dough-making process.

Add Oil and Flour: Pour in the sunflower oil. Gradually sift the flour into the mixture, ensuring it’s well-incorporated. Sifting not only prevents lumps but also aerates the flour, contributing to a lighter bread texture.

First Rise: Mix until a sticky, viscous dough forms. Cover the bowl with a cloth and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, allowing the dough to rise and double in size.
