Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 3 whole Large eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 2

Warm the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until lukewarm (not hot), about 100-110°F (38-43°C).

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs lightly, then add them to the milk. Mix until just combined.

Step 4

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the milk and egg mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough starts to form.

Step 5

Add the softened unsalted butter, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until the butter is fully incorporated into the dough. This can be done in a stand mixer with a dough hook for 7-8 minutes or by hand for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time but avoid over-flouring.

Step 7

Lightly grease a large mixing bowl with the vegetable oil. Place the dough inside, turning it once to coat it in oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel.

Step 8

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 9

Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 10

Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until it crowns about 1 inch above the edge of the loaf pan.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 12

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 13

Remove the loaf from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Step 14

Serve warm, toasted, or as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
