Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• Nonstick spray or extra butter for greasing

Instructions

Step 1: Activate the Yeast

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–7 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step ensures your yeast is alive and ready to work!

Step 2: Mix the Dough

1. Combine flour and salt in your food mixer bowl using the paddle attachment.
2. Switch to the dough hook, add the frothy yeast and melted butter, and mix quickly.
3. Gradually increase to medium speed, kneading for 6–8 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 3: First Rise

1. Lightly grease a large bowl with nonstick spray or butter.
2. Place the dough in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 4: Shape the Dough

1. Punch down the dough to release air bubbles.
2. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan.

Step 5: Second Rise

1. Cover the pan with a towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.
2. Preheat your oven to 375°F while the dough rises.

Step 6: Bake

1. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
2. Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

What Speed Do You Knead Bread in a Mixer?

What Happens If You Don’t Knead Bread Enough? 

Your bread might turn out dense and crumbly, lacking that soft and chewy texture we all love.
