Sweet Milk Bread

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and dissolve the yeast in it. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

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

3. 3

   Add the yeast mixture and melted butter to the dry ingredients.

4. 4

   Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it doubles in size.

6. 6

   Punch down the dough to release the air and shape it into a loaf.

7. 7

   Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.

8. 8

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

9. 9

   Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

10. 10

    Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
