Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour 500g
  • 1 cup whole milk 240ml, warm
  • 1/4 cup sugar 50g
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast 7g
  • 1 tsp salt 6g
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 60g

Equipment

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture along with melted butter.
  3. Mix until forming a shaggy dough, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  5. Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf by flattening and rolling tightly.
  6. Place the shaped loaf in a greased pan, cover it, and allow to rise again until nearly doubled (about another hour).
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
