You’ll need:
2 envelopes rapid rise yeast [1/4 ounce each]
1/4 cup granulated sugar, plus 1 tsp
1 1/3 cup of lukewarm water or milk
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 large egg
8 Tbsp butter, divided

Directions:
In a measuring cup, dissolve both packets of yeast and 1 teaspoon of sugar in 1 1/3 cup of lukewarm water.  If you use hot water or milk, it will kill the yeast and the bread won’t rise.  So, make sure the water is lukewarm not boiling.  Let the yeast mixture sit on the counter for 5-7 minutes to allow the yeast to “bloom.”  You’ll see bubbles and froth begin to gather on the top.
