Step 2: Blend It All Up
In your blender, add the flour, salt, oil (or butter), the egg (if using), and the frothy yeast mixture. Blend on low for 30 seconds to incorporate, then increase to medium-high for another 30 seconds. The batter should be thick, smooth, and slightly elastic.
Note: You’re not looking for a firm dough – this is a batter-like consistency, similar to thick pancake batter.
Step 3: Let It Rise
Grease a loaf pan (8×4 inch works best), then pour the batter in evenly. Cover loosely with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot for 30–45 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Quick tip: You can place it in an off oven with the light on for a cozy rising environment.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the bread has risen, bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Optional: Brush the top with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven for a glossy, soft crust.
Step 5: Cool and Enjoy
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Slice when warm (not hot!) and serve with butter, honey, or your favorite spread.
