Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F or 45°C)
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture and the egg to the well in the flour. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl (use olive oil), cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

While the dough is rising, prepare the butter by melting it in a small saucepan or microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape the dough into your desired form (loaf, rolls, etc.) and place it on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet or loaf pan.

Step 8

Brush the shaped dough generously with melted butter, making sure to coat all surfaces for a rich, golden crust.

Step 9

Cover the dough and let it rise again for 20-30 minutes.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 12

Immediately after removing the bread from the oven, brush it with more melted butter for extra flavor and shine.

Step 13

Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Shread Head Butter and Bread fresh and warm!
