The warm, buttery topping soaks into the soft, freshly baked bread, offering a mouth-watering flavor that’s hard to resist.

Ingredients:

• For the bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg (optional for an egg wash)
• For the butter drizzle:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually stir in warm water and melted butter until a dough forms.
   • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
   • Grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough in it, and cover with a damp cloth. Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
2. Shape and bake the bread:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Punch the dough down and shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls. Place the dough on a greased baking sheet or in a loaf pan.
   • Optionally, brush the top of the dough with an egg wash for a shiny finish.
   • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
3. Prepare the butter drizzle:
   • While the bread is baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using), and whisk until smooth.
   • Once the bread has finished baking, drizzle the butter mixture over the warm loaf, letting it soak into the bread.
4. Serve:
   • Slice the bread and serve warm with extra butter drizzle if desired.

Conclusion:

This butter-drizzled bread is a comforting treat that combines the richness of butter with the light, airy texture of fresh bread. Whether served as a side dish or enjoyed on its own, the combination of flavors is irresistible. Try experimenting with different spices or toppings to make this recipe uniquely yours.
