Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Start by mixing the first five ingredients listed together either with a mixer that has a bread hook attachment or in a large bowl (make sure not to over mix the dough).

Once combined, divide the dough into two greased and floured bread pans.

Next let the dough rise in the pans until it reaches the top of the pan (about 30 minutes).

Then, place the bread in the oven. Bake the bread for 35 minutes on the center oven rack.

Then 10 minutes before the bread is done, brush the surface of the bread with melted butter.

Place the bread back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye on your toast bread so it doesn't get too dark.

After baking, let the bread cool in pans for about 5 minutes before placing it on a wire rack.

Finally, after allowing the bread to cool completely, cut and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Activate Your Yeast Properly 🧪
Proof the rapid rise yeast in warm water (110°F) for 5-10 minutes before mixing to ensure it's alive and active, resulting in better rise and texture.
Use the Windowpane Test 🪟
After kneading, stretch a small piece of dough until translucent without tearing to confirm proper gluten development for optimal bread structure and chewiness.
Create Steam for Crispy Crust 💨
Place a hot pan of water on the oven floor while baking to generate steam, which creates that signature English muffin-style crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender.
Toast at the Right Temperature ⏱️
Slice your cooled bread and toast at medium heat to avoid burning the exterior while gently warming the interior for the perfect crispy-yet-fluffy bite.
Cold Butter Lamination Technique 🧈
Incorporate cold butter pieces between dough folds during the final mixing stage to create delicate layers that toast beautifully and add richness to each slice.
