Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

1 package active dry yeast

1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)

1/4 cup butter, softened.

Instructions:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar.

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes, or until foamy.

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir until combined.

Stir in the butter until the dough comes together.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and divide it in half.

Shape each half of the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Cover the loaves with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Bake the loaves for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

For a richer flavor, use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.

If you don't have a kitchen scale, you can use 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.

To make sure your yeast is active, you can sprinkle a pinch of it into a small bowl of warm water. If it foams up within 5 minutes, it is active and ready to use.

If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more water.

To prevent the loaves from sticking to the sides of the loaf pans, grease them well and line them with parchment paper.

To test if the loaves are done, insert a toothpick into the center of one of them. If it comes out clean, the loaves are done.

Let the loaves cool completely before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
