Knead the Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape and Second Rise
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let rise again until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Bake the Bread
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool and Serve
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
