Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare the Yeast Mixture
- In a small bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar, then sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until foamy. This step ensures the yeast is active and will help the bread rise.
- Combine the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture, egg, and softened butter. Stir until the ingredients come together into a sticky dough.
- Knead the Dough
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment on medium speed for about 8 minutes.
- First Rise
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape the Dough
- Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, then shape it into a loaf or divide into smaller rolls if preferred.
- Second Rise
- Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until the dough has risen just above the edge of the pan.
- Bake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
