Ingredients
  

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 cup warm water about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Add melted butter, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until combined.
  3. Gradually add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  7. Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  8. Cover the loaf with a towel and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes until it rises above the edge of the pan.
  9. Brush the top of the loaf with milk for a golden crust.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
