Instructions:
Mix the dough: In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit 5 minutes until foamy.
Add dry ingredients: Stir in flour and salt, then add butter. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Rise: Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 30-45 minutes until doubled in size.
Shape & bake: Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool & enjoy: Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Enjoy fresh or toasted!
Tips for Success:
Warm water matters: It helps activate the yeast for a perfect rise.
Don’t over-knead: Just knead until smooth and elastic to keep the bread light.
Optional extras: Add garlic, herbs, or cheese for a flavorful twist!
