Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.5 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough begins to form.
Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until the dough comes together but is still slightly sticky. Avoid adding too much flour to keep the bread soft.
Lightly grease a 2-quart round or square casserole dish with cooking spray or butter.
Transfer the dough to the prepared casserole dish. Gently press it down to evenly fill the dish.
Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 45–60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the dough has risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the casserole bread from the oven and let it cool in the dish for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain, with butter, or alongside your favorite meal.
