In a small bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and instant yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.

Once your yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the well of the flour and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Gently punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf by rolling it tightly and tucking the ends.

Place your shaped loaf into a greased loaf pan, cover it again, and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the dough has risen again, bake for 25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
