Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ¼ oz Package yeast
  • cup warm water ( 110°-115°)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon additional butter

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix together sugar yeast and water.
  • Let sit for 5 minutes for the yeast to proof (dissolve and puff up).
  • Add salt, milk, two tablespoons butter, and half of the flour until blended.
  • Add remaining flour and once dough forms, place on a floured surface.
  • Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth.
  • Butter a clean mixing bowl and put the dough in it.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 40-50 minutes. NOTE: brush the top of the dough with melted butter before covering so that the plastic does not stick to it.
  • When time is up, punch the dough to remove air and place in a greased loaf pan or mini loaf pans.
  • Cover and let rise 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • At the end of the rise time, bake in oven 20-30 minutes until golden brown. Watch your bread as mini-loaf pans vary in size.
  • Let cool 15-20 minutes before cutting.
