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

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

Pour the activated yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.

Gradually knead in the minced garlic and mixed herbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

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

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown. The internal temperature should be around 190°F (88°C).

Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
