In a small bowl, mix the warm water and granulated sugar until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the activated yeast mixture. Add the softened butter (or neutral oil). Stir until the mixture comes together to form a rough dough.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a small amount of flour on the surface as you knead.
Lightly grease a clean bowl with a small amount of oil. Place the dough in the bowl, turning it once to coat it lightly in oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and leave it to rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Turn it onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a loaf. Place the shaped dough into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let it rise again for 30-40 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size and the top has risen slightly above the edges of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, place the loaf in the center of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
