In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the dry ingredients and stir.

Add water and butter, mixing until everything forms a dough.

Knead for about 10 minutes then remove the dough and shape into a ball.

Lightly oil the bowl and turn one side of the dough in a circle to lightly coat with oil.

Flip so oiled side is up and rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Then gently press down on dough.

Remove from the bowl and place on a clean, dry surface.

Fold opposite sides to begin making the shape of a rectangle, pressing the seams down.

Tuck the ends under, again pressing the seams down.

Place the dough, the seams down, into a greased loaf pan and let it rise in a warm place for 45 mins to 1 hour, until nearly doubled.

With a sharp blade make a shallow cut lengthwise in the dough.

Preheat oven to 450°F.

Bake for about 35 minutes. Center of the loaf should reach 180°F.

Let it cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling the rest of the way.
