    Here's how:

    • 1

      Crumble the yeast into a bowl and add water, olive oil, and honey. Add the flour and knead the dough thoroughly for about 10 minutes.

    • 2

      Add the salt and knead the dough for another 5 minutes. Then let it rise for about 1 hour.

    • 3

      Grease two baking pans with olive oil.

    • 4

      Divide the dough into two parts, knead a little, and shape into 2 loaves, then place them in the pans.

    • 5

      Let it rise under a kitchen towel until it doubles in size, about 30 minutes.

    • 6

      Brush the loaves with water and make a slit lengthwise. Bake at 200 °C for about 30 minutes. You can spray a little cold water into the oven after placing the loaves inside to help them develop a better crust.
