Soft Load Bread

 SOFT LOAF 🍞✨

Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup milk

1 egg

Instructions:

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the mixture becomes foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Add the softened butter, milk, egg, and yeast mixture to the flour. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 6-8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Cover the pan and let the dough rise for another 30-40 minutes, or until it rises above the edges of the pan.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
