Take 2 packets of instant yeast and dissolve in 1/2 cup of warm water for 5 minutes.

Measure out 6 cups of bread flour and add 3 tbsp of melted butter, 2 tbsp of sugar, and 1 tbsp of kosher salt.

Add 1 3/4 cups of 2% milk to the dry ingredients.

Add the yeast mixture to the bowl and mix until combined.

Add 2 cups of flour and beat for about 1 minute until just combined.

Add another cup of flour and beat for 150 strokes.

Switch to a bread hook and add enough flour to form a dough, starting with 1 cup.

Knead the dough on medium speed for 10 minutes until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl.

Cover the dough with a tea towel and let it sit for 20 minutes until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto floured parchment or wax paper.

Divide the dough in half and roll each half into an 8x12 inch rectangle.

Roll the dough jelly roll style and pinch the sides to seal.

Place the dough in a greased 8-inch loaf pan, cover with parchment and plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.

Let the dough sit on the counter for 10 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 325°F and bake for 30-40 minutes.
