Instructions:

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a bowl, mix the dry yeast with 1/4 cup warm water. Let it sit for a few minutes to activate, and watch the magic happen!
  2. Prepare the Base Mixture: In another bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture with 1/3 cup all-purpose flour. Cover and set aside in a warm place to ferment. Let those flavors mingle!
  3. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, and 1 1/4 cups hot water. Add the yeast-flour mixture from step 2 and gradually sift in 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. Knead the ingredients together until a smooth, stretchy dough forms—get those hands working!
  4. Allow the Dough to Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. It’s time for a little magic while you wait!
  5. Shape and Proof the Dough: Once risen, shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover lightly and let it proof in a warm place until it increases in volume.
