Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk (warmed)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Gather Your Ingredients – Assemble all ingredients on your countertop for easy access.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients – In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients – Pour the warmed milk and melted butter into the dry mixture. Stir gently until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the Dough – Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First Rise – Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
  6. Shape Your Loaf – Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a rectangle and roll tightly into a log. Place in a greased loaf pan.
  7. Second Rise – Cover again and let rise for another hour until puffy.
  8. Bake Your Creation – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for about 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top.
  9. Cool Before Slicing – Remove from oven, cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
