- - 2 cups of flour
- - 2 teaspoons of instant yeast

- - 2 teaspoons of sugar
- - 2 tablespoons of honey
- - 2 tablespoons of oil
- - 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

Step 1: Prepare the Yeast Mixture
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In another large mixing bowl, combine:
- 2 cups of flour
- 2 teaspoons of sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Combine and Form Dough
Step 4: Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a flat surface or chopping board.
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
Grease a round pan and place the dough in it. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 2 hours or until the dough has doubled in size.
Step 5: Shape the Dough
Sprinkle some flour on the flat surface.
Place the risen dough on the surface and flatten it with your hands.
Roll the dough into a loaf shape, ensuring to close the edges well.
Grease a baking pan and place the shaped dough inside. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise for another hour until it has doubled in size.
Step 6: Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the dough for 40 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool before slicing.
