Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 0.25 cup Honey
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, milk, and honey. Whisk until the honey dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until foamy. This indicates that the yeast is activated.

Step 3

Add salt and melted butter to the yeast mixture, stirring to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, gradually incorporating the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Lightly grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough ball in the bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 7

Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the risen dough to release any air bubbles. Shape it into a log and place it into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 9

Cover the loaf pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen about 1 inch above the pan's rim.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 11

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 12

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
