HOW TO MAKE EASY 6 INGREDIENT SANDWICH BREAD

In a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast, salt, and sugar until evenly combined. Slowly add the warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough begins to form. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Once risen, gently punch it down and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough into a greased loaf pan and allow it to rise again while the oven preheats.

Bake until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let it cool before slicing to achieve the perfect sandwich texture.
