Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast.
Heat the warm water, unsalted butter, and milk in a small saucepan over low heat until just warm (about 110°F or 43°C).
Slowly pour the warm liquid mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean mixing bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Punch down the dough to release air and shape it into a loaf. Place it in the prepared loaf pan.
Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top of the dough for a caramelized topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
