How to Make 10 Minute French Bread

1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add salt and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
3. Gradually add flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic. (This is a no-rise recipe, so don't over-knead).
5. Shape the dough into a loaf or roll and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
8. Let the bread cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired.
