Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the white flour and salt.

Add Water: Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously. Adjust the water as needed to form a soft dough. The exact amount may vary slightly depending on the humidity and type of flour.

Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Shape and Prepare for Baking: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the prepared baking pan. Melt the butter and brush it generously over the top of the loaf. Make a few shallow slashes on the surface of the dough with a sharp knife.

Bake: Place the dough in the oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the oven, let it cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
