Dry Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Honey Butter Spread:
- Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.
- Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Dough Preparation: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form.
- Kneading: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Rising: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Shaping and Second Rise: After rising, punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen above the rim of the pan.
- Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Cooling: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
