Instructions
Add all of the ingredients to the bowl of a countertop mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix for 3-4 minutes on low speed, or until the ingredients are fully combined and no longer sticking to the bowl. Increase the speed to medium and continue mixing for 3-4 more minutes.
Transfer the dough into a large bowl, cover it, and place in a warm location (85-90°F) for 1-1.5 hours, or until the dough has almost doubled in size.
Flip the dough onto a lightly oiled countertop and shape it into an 8" log. Place the dough into a lightly oiled loaf pan, cover it, and place it back in a warm location for another 1-1.5 hours.
Bake the bread at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. (Tip: After 20 minutes, place a piece of aluminum foil on top to prevent the loaf from over-browning.)
Remove the bread from the pan and allow it to cool on a baking rack. Cool completely before slicing.
