Mix warm milk and sugar in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve sugar. Sprinkle active dry yeast over the mixture and let it froth for 5-10 minutes. These steps activate your yeast so it can work its magic.

Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour yeast mixture and melted butter into a well. Mix ingredients until dough forms. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.

Put the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, 1–1.5 hours. The yeast makes the bread light and airy after an initial rise.

After rising, gently punch down the dough to release air. Form a rectangle on floured ground. Seal the edges as you tightly roll the dough into a log from one end. Lay rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.

Let the dough rise for 30–45 minutes in the loaf pan covered with a clean kitchen towel. Second rise gives dough more volume and makes bread lighter and fluffier.

Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Beat an egg and brush it on risen dough. This gives the bread a beautiful golden-brown finish when baked.

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. Watch out for overbrowning.

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes after baking. The bread should cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This keeps bread moist and structured.
