Easy Homemade White Bread

Ingredients:

• 5 ½ to 6 cups all-purpose flour

• 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

• 2 ½ teaspoons salt

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 2 cups warm water (110°F)

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)

Instructions:

1. Activate the Yeast

• In a large bowl, mix warm water and sugar. Stir until dissolved.

• Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix the Dough

• Add salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, stirring until combined.

• Slowly add the remaining flour, ½ cup at a time, until the dough forms a soft, slightly sticky ball.

3. Knead the Dough

• Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

• Place in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

4. Shape and Second Rise

• Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape into loaves and place into greased loaf pans.

• Cover and let rise again for 30–40 minutes until puffy.

5. Bake

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

6. Cool and Serve

• Brush with melted butter and let cool before slicing. Enjoy!
