water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.\n <div class=\"tip\">The water should feel warm to the touch, like a comfortable bath. Too hot will kill the yeast!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Mix the Dough<\/strong><br>\n Add flour, salt, and softened butter to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.\n <div class=\"tip\">Don’t worry if it looks messy at this stage. It will come together during kneading.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Knead the Dough<\/strong><br>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should bounce back when poked.\n <div class=\"tip\">Use the heel of your hand to push the dough away, then fold it back. Rotate and repeat!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>First Rise<\/strong><br>\n Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.\n <div class=\"tip\">Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0F, turn it off, then place the bowl inside for the perfect rising environment.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Shape the Loaf<\/strong><br>\n Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Second Rise<\/strong><br>\n Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until the dough rises about 1 inch above the pan rim.\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Bake<\/strong><br>\n Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.\n <div class=\"tip\">For a softer crust, brush the top with melted butter immediately after removing from oven.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Cool and Enjoy<\/strong><br>\n Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread!\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n <div class=\"chef-tip\">\n <h3>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Chef’s Pro Tip<\/h3>\n <p>For an extra crispy crust, place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of your oven while baking. The steam creates a beautiful artisan-style crust. Also, resist the urge to slice the bread while it’s still hot\u2014letting it cool allows the interior structure to set properly!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <section class=\"section\">\n <h2>Nutrition Facts (per slice)<\/h2>\n <table class=\"nutrition-table\">\n <tr>\n <th>Nutrient<\/th>\n <th>Amount<\/th>\n <th>% Daily Value<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Calories<\/td>\n <td>150<\/td>\n <td>8%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Protein<\/td>\n <td>4g<\/td>\n <td>8%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Carbohydrates<\/td>\n <td>28g<\/td>\n <td>9%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Fat<\/td>\n <td>2g<\/td>\n <td>3%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Fiber<\/td>\n <td>1g<\/td>\n <td>4%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Sodium<\/td>\n <td>390mg<\/td>\n <td>17%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/section>\n \n <section class=\"section\">\n <h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n <div class=\"tabs\">\n <button class=\"tab active\" onclick=\"showTab(0)\">Whole Wheat<\/button>\n <button class=\"tab\" onclick=\"showTab(1)\">Gluten-Free<\/button>\n <button class=\"tab\" onclick=\"showTab(2)\">Herb & Garlic<\/button>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"tab-content active\" id=\"tab0\">\n <strong>Whole Wheat Version:<\/strong>\n <p>Replace 2 cups of all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.\n <div class=\"tip\">The water should feel warm to the touch, like a comfortable bath. Too hot will kill the yeast!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Mix the Dough<\/strong><br>\n Add flour, salt, and softened butter to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.\n <div class=\"tip\">Don’t worry if it looks messy at this stage. It will come together during kneading.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Knead the Dough<\/strong><br>\n Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. The dough should bounce back when poked.\n <div class=\"tip\">Use the heel of your hand to push the dough away, then fold it back. Rotate and repeat!<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>First Rise<\/strong><br>\n Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours until doubled in size.\n <div class=\"tip\">Preheat your oven to 200\u00b0F, turn it off, then place the bowl inside for the perfect rising environment.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Shape the Loaf<\/strong><br>\n Punch down the dough to release air bubbles. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Second Rise<\/strong><br>\n Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until the dough rises about 1 inch above the pan rim.\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Bake<\/strong><br>\n Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.\n <div class=\"tip\">For a softer crust, brush the top with melted butter immediately after removing from oven.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <div class=\"step\">\n <strong>Cool and Enjoy<\/strong><br>\n Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Enjoy your homemade bread!\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n <div class=\"chef-tip\">\n <h3>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83c\udf73 Chef’s Pro Tip<\/h3>\n <p>For an extra crispy crust, place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of your oven while baking. The steam creates a beautiful artisan-style crust. Also, resist the urge to slice the bread while it’s still hot\u2014letting it cool allows the interior structure to set properly!<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n <section class=\"section\">\n <h2>Nutrition Facts (per slice)<\/h2>\n <table class=\"nutrition-table\">\n <tr>\n <th>Nutrient<\/th>\n <th>Amount<\/th>\n <th>% Daily Value<\/th>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Calories<\/td>\n <td>150<\/td>\n <td>8%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Protein<\/td>\n <td>4g<\/td>\n <td>8%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Carbohydrates<\/td>\n <td>28g<\/td>\n <td>9%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Fat<\/td>\n <td>2g<\/td>\n <td>3%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Fiber<\/td>\n <td>1g<\/td>\n <td>4%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <tr>\n <td>Sodium<\/td>\n <td>390mg<\/td>\n <td>17%<\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/table>\n <\/section>\n \n <section class=\"section\">\n <h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n <div class=\"tabs\">\n <button class=\"tab active\" onclick=\"showTab(0)\">Whole Wheat<\/button>\n <button class=\"tab\" onclick=\"showTab(1)\">Gluten-Free<\/button>\n <button class=\"tab\" onclick=\"showTab(2)\">Herb & Garlic<\/button>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"tab-content active\" id=\"tab0\">\n <strong>Whole Wheat Version:<\/strong>\n <p>Replace 2 cups of all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
