Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of the all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and active dry yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

Add the warm water (around 110°F) to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. The mixture will be wet and sticky at this stage.

Step 3

Add the melted butter and then gradually incorporate the remaining 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, stirring until the batter is smooth. The batter should be thick but still sticky—more like a cake batter than traditional bread dough.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the batter rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until it has doubled in size. This can be near a slightly warm oven or a countertop away from drafts.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8.5 x 4.5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray or butter.

Step 6

Once the batter has risen, stir it gently to remove any air bubbles, then pour it into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 7

Allow the batter to rest in the pan for another 10-15 minutes, during which it may rise a little further.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
