Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast ((2 1/4 tsp = 1 packet) Platinum Red Star will giv e you the best results)
  • 3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour or all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp kosher salt ((use less if using table or sea salt))
  • 1 1/3 cups warm water (divided) ((110F°))
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature

Directions

  1. 1

    Yeast: Dissolve 2 1/4 tsp of active dry yeast in a 1/3 cup warm water with a pinch of sugar and let sit for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture foams up and increases in volume just slightly. This ensures that the yeast is active and that the yeast will be easily incorporated into the dough. Omit this step if using instant yeast and just add it as-is in step 2 where it calls for the yeast mixture.
