Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1 cup warm water, 110-120°F
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix the Yeast: In a small bowl, stir together the water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 10 minutes, until bubbles form.
  2. Knead the Dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the flour, salt, and oil. Pour in the yeast mixture. Turn the mixer to medium and allow to knead until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl, about 10 minutes.
  3. Rise the Dough: Roll into a tight ball and transfer to a greased bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a dark, warm, draft-free place for 60 to 90 minutes, until doubled in size.
  4. Shape and Second Rise: Deflate and shape into a log to fit in a 9×5 loaf pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a dark, warm, draft-free place for 50 to 60 minutes, until doubled in size.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F about 20 minutes before the second rise is done. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Finish: Brush the crust with melted butter and let cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove loaf from pan and transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
