Welcome to my kitchen. Today we're making easy sandwich bread with six ingredients.

Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar to the bread flour.

Mix the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt together until well combined.

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add melted butter and warm milk.

Mix gradually with a wooden spoon until a soft and wet dough forms.

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes to allow gluten to develop.

After 5 minutes, stir the dough again; it should be stretchy.

Leave the dough to rise for 1 hour until well risen.

Grease two loaf pans with room temperature butter and sprinkle flour inside, coating the sides.

Punch down the risen dough to remove trapped air and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface.

Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a loaf.

Place each shaped loaf into the prepared loaf pans and press gently to reach the edges.

Cover the loaves with a wet kitchen towel and let them proof for 15 minutes.

Crack one egg into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water; whisk together for egg wash.

Brush the risen dough with the egg wash gently to avoid deflating it.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the loaves in the oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and smelling good.

Check doneness by inserting a skewer into the middle of the loaf; it should come out clean.

Brush the hot loaves with butter to soften the crust.

Let the loaves cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pans.

Slice one loaf to show the inside texture.
