Steps:
- Stir the yeast into the warm water until it dissolves.
- Add the flour to a large bowl, and whisk in the salt. Add the yeast mixture, and remaining water to the flour. Stir to combine.

- Once done make a few slashes in the top of the loaves with a small sharp knife. Brush the top of the loaves with water. Bake for about 25 minutes in a preheated 450-degree oven. Once done remove, and brush with butter.
