Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 large Egg
• 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.

Step 2

Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough begins to form.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough comes together but is still slightly sticky. Avoid adding too much flour to keep the bread soft.

Step 4

Lightly grease a 2-quart round or square casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to the prepared casserole dish. Gently press it down to evenly fill the dish.

Step 6

Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove the casserole bread from the oven and let it cool in the dish for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or alongside your favorite meal.
