Description

Ingredients
Active Dry Yeast
Warm Water or Milk
Granulated Sugar
All-Purpose Flour
Salt
Butter or Oil
Instructions
Activate the yeast in warm liquid with sugar.
Combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and fat.
Knead until smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours.
Shape into two loaves, let rest briefly, then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes.
Notes
Use all-vegan oil instead of butter for a more halal/non-alcoholic option.
Liquid should be 105-115°F (40-46°C) for optimal yeast activation.
Store in a bread box or zipped bag for up to 3 days.
