Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp yeast
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 ¼ cup warm milk, 110 degrees
  • ½ cup melted butter + 1 tbsp for brushing the top
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour

Instructions
 

  • Mix milk, sugar and yeast in a mixing bowl and let yeast
    activate for 10 minutes.
  • Add flour, melted butter and salt, and mix to combine.
  • Knead bread for 10 minutes until dough is smooth and no longer
    sticky.
  • Place in a large, greased bowl and cover loosely with a cloth
    or cling wrap. 
  • Let dough rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until
    doubled in size.
  • Punch down the middle of bread, then turn onto an unfloored surface.
  • To form the loaf, roll dough out to for a rectangle then fold
    over in thirds and press gently to remove any air pockets.
  • Place in a greased loaf pan and press dough so it fills in any
    gaps in the pan.
  • Cover loosely with cling wrap and allow to rise for 30
    minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Remove cling wrap and place into oven and bake for 25-30
    minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and brush the top with melted butter.  After 10 minutes remove bread from the pan
    and place on a rack.  Serve warm with
    butter.
  • Store at room temperature in a Ziploc bag or airtight
    container for 3-4 days.
