Table of Contents

Activate the Yeast:
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
Combine Ingredients:
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough:
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.
First Rise:
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Loaf:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and shape it into a loaf.
Second Rise:
- Place the shaped dough in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30-60 minutes, or until it rises above the rim of the pan.
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Bread:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool:
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice your homemade bread and enjoy it fresh! It’s perfect for sandwiches, toast, or just with a bit of butter. Happy baking!
