Bread in 20 Minutes – The Perfect Recipe for Those in a Hurry

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) . Place a baking sheet or cast iron skillet in the oven to heat up while you prepare the dough.
Step 2: Make the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1–2 minutes, just until smooth. Avoid overworking the dough—it doesn’t need to be perfect!
Step 3: Shape the Bread
Shape the dough into a round or oval loaf. If desired, sprinkle the top with seeds, herbs, or cheese for added flavor and texture.
Use a sharp knife or razor blade to make a shallow slash across the top of the loaf. This helps the bread expand evenly during baking.
Step 4: Bake the Bread
