## Ingredients

- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1.5 cups warm water

## Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add oil once yeast is activated.
2. Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture; mix on low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium and knead for 8-10 minutes until dough is soft, slightly sticky, and elastic.
3. Lightly coat the dough with oil, place it in a bowl, cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
4. Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
5. Shape each piece into an oval, pinching the ends to seal, then roll into an oval shape.
6. Place the dough on a baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
8. Score a line lengthwise down the center of each bolillo using a sharp knife or razor blade.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
