Pour 200 mils of lukewarm water into a bowl.

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast over the water without stirring.

Wait for the yeast to foam in the water; if it doesn't foam, discard and replace the yeast.

Grease a pan with some butter.

Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and 0.5 teaspoons of salt to 300 grams of plain flour and mix.

After 5 minutes, pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the yeast.

Use a knife to mix the flour and water to form a rough dough.

Tip the dough onto a surface for kneading; dust with additional flour as needed.

Knead the dough for about 3 minutes before adding 2-3 tablespoons of butter.

Fold the butter into the dough until fully incorporated, adding more flour if it gets too sticky.

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until smooth.

Cut the dough into 6 sections and roll each section into a cylinder shape.

Arrange the rolled dough into a greased bread tin.

Cover the tin with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven before baking the bread.

Bake the bread for 15-20 minutes until done.

Brush the top of the bread with butter while still hot.

Remove the bread from the pan and place it on a rack to cool.
