Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 1 packet Instant Yeast
  • 3 tbsp White Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 11/2 cups Warm Water
  • 3 tbsp Softened Unsalted Butter

Egg Wash

  • 1 medium Beaten Egg

Instructions

  • Place the flour, salt, yeast, and sugar in the electric mixing bowl. Mix using a wire whisk.
  • Microwave the water until warm, or you can heat it on the stove until the water is warm to the touch. Remove from the heat.
  • Set the bowl in the electric mixer stand, attach the hook attachment, and mix at medium speed.
  • Slowly add the warm water and mix on medium-high until the dough forms a clump.
  • Add the softened butter and knead the dough for 14 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise

  • Remove the dough from the bowl and form it into a ball. Spray the mixing bowl with nonstick spray and put the dough back in it. Spray your plastic wrap with nonstick spray and use it to cover. Let the dough rise in a warm place. Let the dough double in size. This process takes about an hour.

Second Rise

  • When ready, punch the dough to release air. Divide the dough equally into two. Transfer to a flat surface and flatten it into a circle one centimeter thick. While you are working on the first dough, cover the other one with a plastic wrap.
  • Cut the dough using a pizza cutter and form it into a crescent shape. Please refer to the above photo. Do the same to the remaining dough. Arrange the dought to the pan.Cover the dough with a plastic wrap and let it rise for another thirty minutes, or until puffy.
  • Put the oven rack to the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Bush the bread with the egg wash.

Bake

  • Bake the bread for thirteen minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely. Brush the top of the uncovered loaf with melted butter. Let it cool completely.
