What is it about making your own homemade bread? Is it the love and care that goes into making it? Is it the heavenly smell that fills the house as the bread bakes? It is knowing exactly what's in that loaf of bread you're eating? We think it's all of those. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, this easy homemade butter bread recipe is one for the (recipe) books.
This soft butter bread is really easy to make and has simple ingredients: sugar, yeast, flour, milk, honey, butter, eggs and salt. The bread dough can be kneaded in a stand mixer or by hand. Allow about one hour and 45 minutes of rising time. The dough is divided in two and baked for about 30 minutes or until golden. Brush the tops of the hot bread loaves with melted butter after it comes out of the oven, and let it cool before slicing.
Use this easy butter bread recipe for sandwiches or slather butter on it as a side dish for dinner. This soft bread makes wonderful toast (think cinnamon toast!). If you can't use both loaves, share one with a friend, family member or neighbor!
Pro Tip: To help your bread stay even softer, put a few ice cubes at the bottom of the oven when baking.
Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 1/2 hours
Servings: Makes 2 loaves
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 4 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 7 - 7 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (divided)
- 1 cup whole milk, warm
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons salt
- olive oil, for pans and brushing
- 2 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing on top
Here's how to make it:
- Put the warm water and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the yeast and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes.
- On low speed, add 1 cup of the flour, milk, honey, butter, egg, egg yolk and salt. Mix until combined. With the dough hook attachment, slowly start adding 6 to 6 1/2 cups more flour until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Once this happens, continue to mix for about 3 more minutes. (You can also remove it and knead by hand for about 5 to 8 minutes.)
- Brush the top of the dough with a little olive oil to coat, cover and let the dough rise for about 1 hour. It should double in size.
- Punch the dough down and put onto a floured work surface. Divide into two. With a rolling pin, roll each half into a rectangle about 13 by 9 inches. Roll the dough up into a log and put into an oiled 9x5-inch loaf pan. Repeat with the second half. Cover and let the bread rise again for about 45 minutes.
- Bake the bread in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 30 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and immediately brush with the melted butter. Cool completely before slicing.
