  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water (about 110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, warm water, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Gradually add in the flour and salt to the yeast mixture, stirring continuously to form a soft dough.

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

  5. 5

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  6. 6

    Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  7. 7

    Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes.

  8. 8

    Brush the top of the bread with melted butter.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

    Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
