Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar This adds a slight sweetness to the bread.
- 1 cup milk Make sure it's warm but not boiling for best results.
- 0.25 cup butter Melted for the batter and for pouring over top.
- 2.25 tsp active dry yeast Make sure it's fresh for rising.
- 3 cups all-purpose flour Sifted for easier mixing.
- 1 tsp salt Balances out the sweetness.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Start by warming your milk until it’s just warm to the touch. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy. This means your yeast is active!
- Add in the melted butter and salt. Gradually mix in the flour until a soft dough forms. You might not need every bit of flour, so keep an eye on the texture!
- Knead the dough lightly for a few minutes and then shape it into a ball. Place it back in the bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Once risen, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Punch the dough down and transfer it to a greased baking dish. Pour any remaining melted butter over the top for that rich buttery flavor.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let it cool slightly before serving, and enjoy the amazing aroma and flavor!
Notes
This bread is best enjoyed fresh and warm, perfect for pairing with soups or salads!
