INSTRUCTIONS:

• 1st Step – Activate the Yeast: In Grandma’s kitchen, every recipe starts with a little bit of magic. Mix the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast in a small bowl and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy and alive, just like Grandma’s stories.
• 2nd Step – Mix the Dough: In a big mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the bubbly yeast mixture along with a splash of olive oil. Stir it all together with a wooden spoon, feeling the dough come to life under your hands.
• 3rd Step – Knead with Love: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it gently, feeling the warmth of Grandma’s hands guiding yours. As you knead, think of all the love and care that goes into each loaf.
• 4th Step – Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel, just like Grandma used to do. Let it rise in a cozy corner of the kitchen until it doubles in size, filling the room with anticipation.
• 5th Step – Shape and Rise Again: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf, imagining Grandma’s skilled hands at work. Let it rise once more until it’s puffy and proud, ready to be baked into perfection.
• 6th Step – Bake with Joy: Pop the loaf into the oven and watch as it transforms into a golden masterpiece. The aroma fills the kitchen, drawing everyone closer with eager anticipation.
• 7th Step – Slice and Share: Once the loaf is done, let it cool for a moment before slicing into it. Each slice reveals a soft, pillowy interior that’s just waiting to be enjoyed. Spread with butter, drizzle with honey, or simply savor it as it is – Grandma’s Super Macio Loaf is perfect any way you slice it.
