Ingredients:
600 g all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
7 g dry yeast (1 packet)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
450 ml lukewarm water (about 37°C), added slowly
2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions:
Activate the yeast:

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and yeast with a bit of the lukewarm water (about 50 ml) to dissolve. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Prepare the dough:

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and melted butter.
Gradually add the remaining 400 ml lukewarm water, mixing slowly until the dough comes together. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but manageable.
Knead the dough:

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add a bit of flour if it’s too sticky or a bit of water if too dry.
First rise:

Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the dough:

Punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into two equal portions.
Shape each portion into a loaf and place them into two greased containers (30 x 10.5 cm with a height of 7 cm).
Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffed up.
Bake the bread:

Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F).
Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
Cool the bread:

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your homemade bread! Perfect for sandwiches, toasts, or just with butter and jam. If you try this recipe, let me know how it turns out in the comments below!
