Preparation Steps
Step 1/17
Add 2 cups warm water, about 100°F (38°C), and 1 tablespoon of the sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Step 2/17
Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons active dry yeast over the sweetened water. Stir lightly and let stand for 5 minutes until bubbly and foamy.
Step 3/17
Add the remaining sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 cup melted butter to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined.
Step 4/17
Add about half of the flour, approximately 2 3/4 cups (330 g), to the bowl. Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 5/17
Add the remaining flour gradually, about 1 cup at a time. Mix after each addition until a cohesive dough forms.
Step 6/17
Knead the dough with the stand mixer dough hook on medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes. Stop when the dough is smooth and elastic.
Step 7/17
Place the dough in a clean bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes, until doubled in size.
Step 8/17
Turn the risen dough onto a clean work surface and knead for 1 minute to release air bubbles. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions.
Step 9/17
Shape each dough portion into a ball. Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Step 10/17
Roll one dough ball into a rectangle about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Press out visible air bubbles while rolling.
Step 11/17
Roll the dough rectangle tightly into a log and tuck in the ends. Place it seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
Step 12/17
Repeat the rolling and shaping process with the second dough portion. Place it in the second greased loaf pan.
Step 13/17
Cover both pans with a damp kitchen towel. Let the loaves rise for about 60 minutes, until dough crowns about 1 inch above the pan rims.
Step 14/17
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Position an oven rack in the center of the oven.
Step 15/17
Bake the risen loaves at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes. Bake until the tops are deep golden and the loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Step 16/17
Brush the hot bread tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons melted butter. Cover the loaves with a kitchen towel for 5 minutes.
Step 17/17
Remove the loaves from their pans. Transfer them to a wire cooling rack and cool completely before slicing.
