Microwave Bread
Ingredients for Microwave Bread:
Unsalted butter - 2 tbsp. (melted, plus more to grease the dish)
Active dry yeast - 1 1/2 tsp.
Granulated sugar - 1 1/2 tsp.
Salt - 1 1/2 tsp.
All-Purpose flour - 2 2/3 cups
Method of preparing the Microwave Bread:
  1. Butter a 1.5-quart microwave-safe glass dish and set it aside.
  2. Mix together the butter, yeast, sugar, salt, and 1 cup of warm water.
  3. Start adding the flour ½ cup of flour at a time, waiting for each addition to blend in fully before adding more. Once all the flour is added, knead into a soft and pliable dough.
  4. Transfer the dough to a prepared microwave-safe dish, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Microwave on the high setting until the internal temperature of the bread registers 200°F (93°C). It should take about 4 minutes.
  6. Start checking if done at 3 minutes, as microwave power levels may vary. Let the bread cool in the dish for 5 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack and let cool completely.
Chef's Tip:
When measuring flour, it's recommended to spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.
