Kings Hawaiian Bread

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until well combined.

3. Add the yeast mixture to the mixing bowl and stir to incorporate all ingredients.

4. Gradually add the flour to the wet ingredients, mixing well after each addition until a soft dough forms.

5. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.

7. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

8. Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for another 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it reaches the edges of the pan.

9. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

10. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

11. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
