2 cups lukewarm water
1 pkg dry yeast
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
4 cups bread or all purpose flour

  • In a large bowl, combine water, yeast, sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Stir in flour. Turn the dough out onto a floured plate. Clean the bowl and grease with butter.

Let the loaves rise another 45 minutes until almost doubled in size. Preheat oven to 425. Brush the tops of loaves with melted butter and bake 10 minutes.
