Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 cup warm water (110-120°F)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions 

  • Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let sit 10 min until bubbly.
  • Combine flour, salt, and oil; add yeast mixture and knead until elastic, about 8-10 min.
  • Shape dough into a ball, let rise in a warm place for 60-90 min until doubled.
  • Deflate, shape into a log, and let rise for another 50-60 min.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F; bake bread for 25-30 min until golden and hollow-sounding.
  • Brush crust with melted butter; cool 10 min before slicing.
