Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (375 g)
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (7 g)
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C, 240 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar (25 g)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (6 g)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (56 g)
  • ½ cup warm milk (120 ml), whole milk preferred
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • Additional melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle in yeast and stir gently. Let sit until foamy, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together warm milk, melted butter, and egg until combined.
  3. Add yeast mixture to wet ingredients and stir gently.
  4. Gradually add flour and salt to wet mixture, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky.
  6. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with damp towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  7. Punch down dough and shape into a round or oval loaf to fit your skillet or pan.
  8. Transfer dough to greased skillet or pan, cover, and let rise until puffed but not doubled, about 30 to 40 minutes.
  9. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) while dough rises.
  10. Bake bread for 25 to 30 minutes until deep golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped. Tent with foil if browning too fast.
  11. Remove bread from oven and brush top and sides generously with melted butter.
  12. Cool bread on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use a cast-iron skillet for the crispiest crust, but a heavy stainless steel or ceramic pan works too. If you don’t have a pastry brush, use a clean finger to spread melted butter. Don’t skip the butter brushing after baking to lock in moisture and flavor. Allow bread to cool before slicing to avoid gummy texture. For a chewier texture, substitute half the flour with bread flour. Store bread in a paper bag or bread box to keep crust crispy.
