Preparation: 20 minutes
Cooking: 30 minutes
Total: 50 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

  3. Add the yeast mixture, softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.

  8. Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

  9. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

  10. Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
