2 ÂĽ teaspoons of active dry yeast
1 ½ cups of warm water
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of salt

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes until it puffs up.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while your loaf is rising.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
