Ingredients

• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition using a wooden spoon or electric mixer with a dough hook. The batter should be thick and sticky but not form a stiff dough.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover the pan loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes, or until the batter has doubled in size.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once risen, place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or your favorite spread. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
