Prepare Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually add water and mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Add olive oil as needed during the kneading process.
First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
Shape and Second Rise: Punch down the dough, shape it into a baguette, and let it rise again until puffy.
Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C (440°F) for 17-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
