In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water (not hot). Sprinkle the dry yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Add the flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Punch down the dough and knead it briefly to release the air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
