This bread was always made by my mother when we had guests over for dinner. It pulls apart into sections for easy eating. Great with almost any dinner!

Steps

3 hours

1

Add warm water and milk to mixing bowl (approximately 130°F together)
2

Add softened butter, sugar, salt, and yeast
3

Allow mixture to proof for 5-10 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble slightly.
4

Add flour gradually while mixing with a dough hook (or by hand). If the dough is sticking to the bowl, slowly add a bit more flour until dough does not stick.
5

Knead dough until it starts to form separate balls (with hook), outside looks smooth, and dough starts to form stretch marks.
6

Spray bowl with pam (and spray top of dough) and cover top with cling wrap. Allow to rise in a warm place for a few hours until dough doubles in size.
7

Punch dough down and let set for 15 minutes.
8

Divide into two balls
9

Press each ball out into a 12x8 rectangle and spread softened butter on top.
10

Cut each rectangle in half width wise and place one side upon the other. Repeat this step to finish with a long strip with 4 layers.
11

Cut into fourths and lay each stack successively into a bread pan. Make sure a buttered side is touching a non buttered side.
12

Let rise for about 1 hour. Loaf size approximately doubles.
13

Bake both loaves at 375°F until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
