| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a small bowl, setting it aside. |
| 2 | In the bowl of your food processor fitted with the steel blade, add flour and salt. Pour in the yeast mixture through the chute and process until a dough forms a ball. |
| 3 | Break apart the dough and reprocess 2 or 3 times to ensure proper mixing. |
| 4 | Place the dough in a buttered bowl, turning it to coat all sides with butter. Cover and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size. |
| 5 | Once doubled in size, punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. |
| 6 | Let the dough rise again until doubled, approximately 45 minutes. |
| 7 | Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and bake the loaf for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown. |
