In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
Add the softened butter and mix lightly into the dry ingredients.
Gradually pour in the water while mixing.
Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
If the dough feels sticky, add a small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover.
Let the dough rise for 15 to 25 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Shape the dough into rolls, loaves, twists, braids, or your preferred bread design.
Bake according to your recipe or desired bread style until golden brown.
Allow the bread to cool slightly before serving.
