Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the warm water (around 110°F) to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture will be wet and sticky at this stage.
Add the melted butter and then gradually incorporate the remaining 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, stirring until the batter is smooth. The batter should be thick but still sticky—more like a cake batter than traditional bread dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. This can be near a slightly warm oven or a countertop away from drafts.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
Once the batter has risen, stir it gently to remove any air bubbles, then pour it into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.
Allow the batter to rest in the pan for another 10-15 minutes, during which it may rise a little further.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
