Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Once the bread has finished its second rise, bake it in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
For a softer crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Let cool and serve:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Chilling the bread ensures a firm, even crumb when sliced.
Slice it and serve with your favorite spreads or use it for sandwiches.
