Notes
You could make one larger loaf but I like to make two so that I have one to share! I think bread always tastes better if it's shared with someone else. Your bake time will be a bit longer if making one large loaf.You can use rapid rise yeast instead of dry active yeast. Just add it in with the flour and don't proof it in the water.
