Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  10. Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  11. Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Remove from the oven and brush the top of the bread with melted butter.
