Instructions
1. Activate yeast
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk + sugar + yeast.
- Let sit 5–10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Make the dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Add yeast mixture and butter.
- Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
(If dough is sticky, add a little more flour.)
3. First rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Shape the loaf
- Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased loaf pan.
- Optional: brush with beaten egg for a shiny crust.
5. Second rise
- Cover and let rise 30–40 minutes until puffy.
6. Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before slicing.
💡 Tips
- For extra softness, replace 1/4 cup of milk with yogurt.
- Brush the top with melted butter right after baking for a tender crust.
- Add herbs, cheese, or garlic for flavored bread variations.
If you want, I can also make a Facebook-ready post for this bread, including a short hook and call-to-action to get more engagement.
Do you want me to do that?
