My husband grabs giant pieces like carbs personally fuel heroic parenting efforts daily somehow. Even my picky child forgets dramatic food opinions after one buttery bite. Honestly, soft homemade bread solves more problems than therapy sometimes.

Ingredients
  

Bread Dough
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 large egg
Sweet Topping
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon coarse sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Loaf Pan
  • Oven
  • Measuring Cups
  • Dough Scraper
  • Cooling Rack
  • Freezer
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven and lightly grease loaf pan before mixing dough ingredients together carefully and evenly.
  2. Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt inside large bowl until ingredients distribute completely throughout.
  3. Whisk warm milk, melted butter, and egg before stirring mixture into dry ingredients smoothly.
  4. Knead dough gently until texture becomes soft stretchy and slightly tacky without feeling sticky everywhere.
  5. Place dough into greased bowl and let rise until doubled because yeast enjoys dramatic attention apparently.
  6. Shape dough into loaf and place inside pan creating smooth top for even golden baking.
  7. Brush loaf with melted butter and sprinkle coarse sugar across surface before baking beautifully golden.
  8. Cool bread slightly before slicing because impatient cutting squishes fluffy texture immediately every single time.

Notes

Bake slightly less for softer bread or longer for crispier edges depending on preferred texture. Freeze cooled slices individually inside airtight bags for easier storage. Let bread cool before slicing for cleaner handling. Add cinnamon, raisins, or orange zest for flavor customization. Store covered up to four days.
