Super Fluffy Bread Recipe

🧈 Ingredients:

• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for chewier texture)

• 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) instant yeast

• 2 tbsp sugar

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 cup warm milk (not hot, around 110°F / 43°C)

• ¼ cup warm water

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

• 1 egg

🥣 Instructions:

1. Activate Yeast (Optional if using instant yeast):
   Mix warm water, a pinch of sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix Dough:
   In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add milk, butter, egg, and yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

3. Knead:
   Knead on a floured surface (or using a mixer with dough hook) for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add flour if too sticky.

4. First Rise:
   Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled.

5. Shape:
   Punch down the dough. Divide into rolls or place in a loaf pan. Shape gently.

6. Second Rise:
   Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

7. Bake:
   Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake 20–25 minutes (rolls) or 30–35 minutes (loaf), until golden brown.

8. Optional Glaze:
   Brush warm bread with melted butter for extra softness and shine.
