In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until foamy.

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf or desired shape.

Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

With a sharp knife, make a few slashes on the top of the loaf for steam to escape.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Let it cool before slicing.
