Description
A soft, buttery loaf inspired by Raising Cane’s bread, perfect for pairing with meals or enjoying on its own.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Extra butter for brushing (about 1 tablespoon), melted
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup warm water into a small bowl and stir in the sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy and fragrant.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the melted butter and foamy yeast mixture.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover loosely, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size (about 60–90 minutes).
- Gently deflate the dough, shape it into a loaf, and let rise again until puffy (30–45 minutes).
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder, and bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
For a richer flavor, brush with melted butter after baking. Customize with additional garlic or cheese if desired.
