This homemade olive oil bread is soft, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
Combine the warm water and sugar in a small bowl, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast effectively.
Add the yeast to the sugar water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
If the yeast doesn't foam, it might be inactive; consider using a fresh batch.
Place the flour, olive oil, and yeast mixture into the bread machine.
Add the ingredients in the order recommended by your bread machine's manufacturer.
Start the bread machine on the basic or French loaf setting.
Monitor the dough during the first few minutes to ensure proper mixing.
After 5 minutes of mixing, add the egg white to the dough.
Adding the egg white at this stage helps improve the bread's texture.
Allow the bread machine to complete the baking process.
Avoid opening the bread machine during baking to maintain consistent temperature.
Once baked, remove the bread from the machine and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Letting the bread cool ensures easier slicing and better texture.
