- 4 cups bread flour
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the bread flour, sugar, salt, and yeast until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk warm milk and eggs together. Gradually add to the dry mixture while stirring to form a shaggy dough.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into three equal pieces; shape each into a smooth ball.
- Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it again, and allow it to rise for another 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
