## **Instructions**
### **1. Prepare the Dough**
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Add the warm water and vegetable oil, then mix with a spoon or spatula until a sticky dough forms.
### **2. Let it Rise**
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rest in a **warm place for 60-90 minutes**, or until it doubles in size.
### **3. Shape the Dough**
Lightly grease a loaf pan. Transfer the dough into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Let it rest for another **15-20 minutes** to allow for a second rise.
### **4. Bake to Perfection**
Preheat your oven to **375°F (190°C)**. Bake the bread for **30-35 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
### **5. Cool & Enjoy**
Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
