Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup Warm water
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, salt, and dry ranch seasoning mix. Whisk to combine.
Heat the milk and water together until warm (about 110°F or 43°C). Ensure it is not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm liquid mixture, followed by the melted butter. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use the dough hook on a stand mixer for 5-6 minutes.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Punch down the risen dough and form it into a loaf shape. Place it into the prepared pan and cover loosely with the kitchen towel. Let it rise again for 20-30 minutes, or until it puffs up slightly.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the pan and brush the top with a little melted butter. If desired, sprinkle with garlic powder and chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor.
Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
