Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.5 cup Milk (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 large Egg (beaten, optional for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Stir the milk, melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture.

Step 3

Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape the dough into a loaf or divide it into 12 equal pieces for rolls.

Step 6

Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch bread pan or the rolls onto a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until doubled.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If desired, brush the loaf or rolls with beaten egg for a golden, shiny crust.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing or serving.
