How To Make fresh baked yeast bread

  • Step 1
    1. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, sugar, salt, yeast, and 1 1/4 cups flour.
  • Step 2
    Add warm water and beat by hand about 300 strokes, or 3 minutes, with an electric mixer. Add remaining flour, scraping bowl often, and mix all together until smooth. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, approximately 1 hour..
  • Step 3
    Stir dough down gently, and spoon into a lightly greased 9 by 5 inch loaf pan (the batter should be sticky). Pat down with floured hands to help shape. Cover again, and let rise.
  • Step 4
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees while dough is rising the second time. When dough has doubled (about 30 minutes) bake for about 45 minutes. Place on a cooling rack, and brush top with 1 tablespoon melted butter.
