Method
- In a small bowl, mix the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture with flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough gently, divide it into two parts, and shape into long loaves.
- Place the loaves on a parchment-lined baking sheet and score the tops with a sharp knife.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and spritz the loaves lightly with water.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes
Feel free to add seeds or grains to mimic the 9-grain bread. For a twist, consider adding garlic powder or rosemary for extra flavor.
Store homemade bread in a paper bag to maintain crispness or wrap in plastic for softness. You can freeze the dough before shaping it for later use—just thaw overnight in the fridge.
