step by step
Method
- Step 1
Make the yeast water
- Warm the water to between 110 and 114 °F (43-46 °C), checking with a thermometer.
- Add the yeast and sugar to the warm water.
- Stir and set aside until the yeast is dissolved, bubbly and foamy on top.
- Step 2
Mix the dough
- Pour the dissolved yeast water into the mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl.
- Add the butter and salt.
- Add the flour one cup at a time until everything is mixed together; the dough will look crumbly and shaggy.
- Step 3
Knead the dough
- Knead the dough in the mixer, or by hand in a bowl, until smooth and elastic.
- Step 4
First rise
- Grease a bowl and place the dough in it, turning so all sides are coated.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm area until doubled in size.
- Step 5
Shape and second rise
- Cut the dough in half and shape each piece into a loaf.
- Grease two bread pans and place one loaf in each.
- Cover and let them sit until doubled in size.
- Step 6
Bake
- Preheat the oven to 425 °F (220 °C).
- Place the loaves in the oven, lower the temperature to 375 °F (190 °C) and bake until golden and done.
- Step 7
Cool and finish
- Turn the loaves out onto a cooling rack.
- Spread butter over the tops.
