Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve active dry yeast and granulated sugar in warm water. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add the yeast mixture and softened unsalted butter to the flour mixture.
  4. Stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough to release air, then shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan.
  7. Cover the dough again and let it rise for 30 minutes until it rises above the pan edges.
  8. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
  9. Bake the bread for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  10. Remove the bread from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips

  • Use warm water not hot to activate yeast properly.
  • Knead dough until elastic for best texture.
  • Let dough rise in a warm draft-free area.
  • Cool bread completely before slicing to avoid gummy texture.
