3. Gradually add flour and mix until a soft dough forms.

5. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled.
6. Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place in a greased pan.
7. Let it rise again until it puffs above the pan.

Notes
Use fresh yeast to ensure a good rise and fluffy texture.
Do not over-flour the dough, as it can make the bread dense.
Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to prevent crumbling.
