  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease two 9×5-inch loaf pans.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix warm water, milk, and sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit 5–10 minutes. Stir in melted butter and salt. Gradually mix in flour until dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place dough in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 1–1.5 hours.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Punch down dough, divide in half, shape into loaves, and place in pans.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Let rise until dough crowns 1 inch above pans, then bake for 30–35 minutes until golden.
  6. Finishing Touches: Brush tops with butter and cool in pans 10 minutes, then transfer to rack.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve once cooled. Great for toast, sandwiches, and more.

Notes

  • Let dough rise fully for best texture.
  • Don’t slice until fully cooled for clean cuts.
  • Freeze sliced bread for easy future use.
  • Swap in whole wheat flour or add seeds for variety.
