Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 ½ cups warm milk about 110°F
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 9x5-inch loaf pan
  • Kitchen towel or plastic wrap
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Pour in the warm milk and melted butter.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, stir until a rough dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and turn it out onto a floured surface.
  7. Form the dough into a loaf shape and place it in a greased loaf pan.
  8. Cover and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.
  9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Notes

For a soft crust, brush the top of the loaf with melted butter immediately after baking.
