Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Directions
- In a blender, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir gently. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a flour-dusted surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle roughly the width of the loaf pan. Starting from one end, tightly roll up the dough to form a loaf shape.
- Place the rolled dough seam side down into the greased loaf pan. Cover loosely with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown on top and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 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.
