Ingredients

Scale

4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
2 large eggs
1 tsp salt

Instructions

Gather and measure flour, milk, sugar, yeast, butter, eggs, and salt.
In a bowl, mix warm milk (110°F), sugar, and yeast; let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Whisk flour and salt in a large bowl; create a well in the center. Add activated yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs; mix until combined.
Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Place dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let rise in a warm area until doubled (about 1 hour).
Punch down the dough gently; shape it into a loaf. Place in a greased pan to rise again (30 mins). Preheat oven to 350°F and bake for approximately 30 minutes until golden brown.
