Steps

50 mins

1

In a lg. mixing bowl, add water, milk, honey, butter and yeast. Stir lightly to wet yeast, then set aside until yeast becomes "gooey".j
2

In another large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Set aside an additional 1/2 cup of bread flour (about). This will be used later for kneading.
3

Begin mixing in flour mixture about one cup at a time. Continue adding flour and mixing until dough begins to form and releases from the sides of the bowl.
4

Use remaining flour mixture (if any) and some of the 1/2 C. Bread flour to sprinkle on flat surface. Place dough on floured surface. Sprinkle lightly with flour and begin kneading. Continue kneading and adding flour until dough is smooth and satiny.
5

Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly greased bowl. Turn dough over to lightly coat with oil from bowl. Cover and place in a warm draft-free area until it has risen to double in size.
6

Lightly grease a 9"x5" loaf pan with olive oil or cooking spray.
7

When the dough has risen to double in size, knead dough briefly to deflate and shape into an oval. Place dough into the greased 9"x 5" loaf pan. Cover and place in a warm draft-free place until it has doubled in size again.
8

Position oven racks so that the top rack is in middle position and other rack is just above bottom of oven. On lower rack, place a pie pan at least half-full of water. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once oven has reached 350 degrees, place bread dough on rack in middle of oven.
9

Bake until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped at the top center (40-50 minutes).
10

Turn bread out of pan and butter the entire surface. Cover and allow to cool completely before slicing.
