Mix flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let it sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and milk to the flour mixture.

Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the loaf in a greased bread pan and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden crust.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Cool on a wire rack before slicing.
