How to make a loaf of bread from scratch (Beginner friendly!)

This yeast bread is beginner friendly! Every step you need to make
bread from scratch is clearly outlined for you in this simple to
follow video. Learn what your bread should look like in each phase,
how to knead and bake your loaf to perfection.

The recipe for this loaf is found here:

I'm just making it into a loaf instead of rolls. Bake yours for 25
minutes and you'll be all set.

This loaf of yeast bread is so versatile, you can also use it for
cinnamon rolls, garlic bread, monkey bread and so much more! Please
let me know if you have any questions and tag me on social media with
pictures of your bread.

Ingredients
1 cup water about 110 degrees or just slightly warmer than lukewarm
1 package active dry yeast *see note 1 for using instant yeast instead
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flavorless oil I prefer avocado but vegetable or canola also works
1 egg at room temperature
3/4 teaspoons salt
3-3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Instructions

* In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water.

* Add the sugar, oil, egg, salt, and half of the flour and mix until
  just combined.

* Add one more cup of flour and mix until the flour is combined again.

* Add between 1/2 of a cup to 1 whole cup of the remaining flour as
  needed until the dough comes together and is soft but not
  gooey. (Usually takes about 3/4 of a cup for me, but will depend on
  weather and humidity)

* Spray the top with cooking spray and cover with plastic wrap.

* Allow to rise in a warm place for one hour or until doubled.

* Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead 4 or 5 minutes until
  the dough is slightly smooth.

* Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.

* Pinch off balls of dough about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and place
  two in each muffin tin side by side.

* Allow to rise about one hour more until doubled again.

* Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes and brush melted butter over the tops
  when you take them out of the oven.

Notes

Note 1: If using instant yeast, add the warm water called for to
activate the yeast to the bowl with the sugar, oil, egg and salt. Add
the packet of yeast in to the bowl when you add the first half of the
flour and continue with the recipe as written.
