Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the melted butter and the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Shape the Loaf: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
  6. Second Rise: Cover the loaf and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake the Bread: Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  9. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
