In a bowl, mix 2.5 cups of bread flour with 1 tablespoon of salt and 2.5 tablespoons of brown sugar.

Add the yeast to the flour mixture, making sure not to put it directly on the salt, and mix it in.

Pour in 2 tablespoons of melted cooled butter and mix again.

Gradually add warm water (1.5 to 1.75 cups) to the mixture, aiming for a soft dough consistency.

Knead the dough by hand for about 10 to 15 minutes until it stops sticking to your hands.

If the dough is too sticky, use a little flour to help with kneading, but do not add too much.

Once the dough is less sticky and has a good elasticity, shape it into a ball.

Grease a bowl with vegetable oil and place the dough in it, turning it to coat all sides.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it proof in a warm place for 1 hour.
