Add the yeast to a bowl of warm water at least 108° and let it create a raft during blooming. While your yeast is blooming, add to a mixing bowl or kitchen aid with a dough hook) 4 cups of flour*, sugar, and salt.

Once the yeast has bloomed and created a raft, add to the mixing bowl with dry ingredients, egg, and butter and mix until the dough makes a dough ball. *Then, add the rest of the flour until incorporated gradually.

Once the flour is fully incorporated and the dough has pulled away from the edges of the bowl, add the dough ball to an oiled bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for at least 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Once the dough has had its rise period and doubled in size, preheat the oven to 450°, grease the bread pans, and set to the side. Punch down the dough and flip the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Split the dough in half with a pastry knife, form 2 loaf logs equal in size, and tuck the dough under, creating a seam on the bottom side. Flour all sides of the loaf well, and add to the oiled bread pan at the bottom. Place a towel over them and keep them in a warm spot to rest for 15 minutes.

Bake for 25 +/- mins, depending on the stove, until golden brown. (It will feel hard once removed from the stove and soften as it cools.) Let cool in pans and release. Once cool, cut and enjoy!
