Ingredients

• 6 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or melted butter (for greasing pans)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water into the dry ingredients while mixing. Stir until the mixture starts to come together into a sticky dough.

Step 3

Add the softened butter and mix until well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, kneading the dough as you go. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, either by hand or using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning the dough to coat it in the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and shape each piece into a loaf.

Step 7

Place the loaves into two greased 9x5-inch loaf pans. Cover them loosely again and let them rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until the dough rises slightly above the rim of the pans.

Step 8

While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 9

Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 10

Remove the bread from the oven and let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
