Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water (1.5 cups) and sugar (1 tbsp). Sprinkle active dry yeast (2 tsp) over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (4 cups) and salt (1 tsp).
Combine Ingredients
Once the yeast has activated, pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Add melted butter (2 tbsp) and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
First Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
