Instructions

1. Grease the insides of the bread pans generously with butter or oil. Spread the butter or oil evenly over the entire inside surface using your fingers or a paper towel.

2. Place the bread dough into the prepared glass loaf pans after it has risen once. Shape the dough so it's smooth and rounded.

3. Allow the dough in the bread pans to rise in a warm place a second time for approximately 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit while the dough is rising a second time.

4. Place the bread dough into the hot oven after the 30 minutes elapses. Bake the bread for approximately 25 minutes.

5. Watch the bread in the oven during the final five to 10 minutes of baking time. When the top of the bread is a deep golden brown, open the oven door and tap lightly on the tops of the loaves of bread. If the loaves are hard when you tap them and they sound hollow, the bread is finished baking.

6. Remove the bread from the oven and place the loaf pans onto the cooling rack. Cool the bread in the bread pans for approximately 15 minutes.

7. Remove the bread from the glass loaf pans and allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
