• 6 Cups all-purpose flour
• 2 ½ Cups very warm water
• 2 Tbsp. Active dry yeast
• 2 Tbsp. Sugar
• 1 tsp. Salt
• 1 Tbsp. Butter

1. Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and let sit until the surface is foamy (If it’s doesn’t foam, the yeast doesn’t work).
2. When yeast is activated, add 3 cups of the flour, the salt, and the butter. Mix until thoroughly combined, about 2 minutes.
3. Once mixture is smooth, add the remaining 3 cups of flour. I recommend folding the flour in until fairly combined before kneading.
4. Once combined, knead dough for 6-8 minutes in a stand mixer, or 8-10 minutes by hand.
5. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let rise for 45 minutes.
6. Cut dough into 2-3 equal pieces and place into a buttered bread pan, and brush melted butter (or olive oil). Allow to rise in the loaf pans for an additional 10-15 minutes. (🍞 Tip: Use a small knife to make a slit longways across the bread to prevent splitting along the side of the bread.)
7. Bake bread in a 375°F oven for 30 minutes uncovered, and and additional 10 minutes covered in foil to prevent excess browning.
