Step 1

Add warm water to the stand mixer bowl with the whisk attachment. Add instant yeast and melted butter. Mix on low speed for about a minute. Switch to the funnel attachment and add bread flour, then add salt (never add salt directly on top of yeast). Mix on low speed until a shaggy dough forms. Switch to the dough hook and knead for 6-7 minutes until the dough has a smooth surface and springs back slightly when poked.
