4 ts Active dry yeast
1/3 c Sugar
1 c Warm water; (about 110
-degrees)
6 tb Unsalted butter; melted
3 Eggs
3 1/2 c Flour; up to 4
1 tb Salt
Place the yeast, sugar and warm water in a mixing bowl. Stir and let
stand for about 10 minutes, until creamy and foamy. Add the melted
butter and eggs and mix well.Combine the flour with the salt. Add it
to the yeast mixture, 1 or 2 cups at a time, until it forms a soft
dough. Place the dough on a well-floured board and knead until the
dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in
a large, well-greased bowl, then flip the dough over to coat with oil.
Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and let stand in a warm place for
about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Punch the dough down, form it into a
loaf and place in a greased loaf pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or until
the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Let cool
before slicing.
