Bread

Ingredients

 * 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
 * 1¼ cups (300 ml) lukewarm milk
 * 1 tablespoon white sugar
 * 3 cups (360 g) unbleached all-purpose flour
 * ¼ teaspoon salt
 * 2 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

Procedure

 * 1) In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the milk and add the sugar.
 * 2) In another bowl, sift the flour and salt together and add the cooled melted butter.
 * 3) Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture, turn out onto a floured counter, and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
 * 4) Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm, draft free place to 45 minutes.
 * 5) Turn dough out onto the freshly floured board and shape into 9 balls. Place dough balls into a buttered and floured 9-inch square pan. Let them sit, covered, for another 15 minutes to rise again. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
 * 6) Bake for 15–20 minutes until browned and puffed. Split open and serve warm.
