How to Make Italian Peasant Bread
- In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add olive oil, salt, and half of the flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Lightly flour a baking sheet.
- Gently shape the dough into free-form loaves. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
- Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
