Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup warm water
  • 2 Tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2 1/4 teaspoon 1 envelop instant yeast

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl combine the flour and salt. Set aside.
  • In another large bowl combine the yeast and warm water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Then add the warm milk, melted butter, and honey. Mix well to combine.
  • Pour the flour mixture into the milk mixture and mix until a ball forms. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6-8 minutes. Add up to an additional 1/4 cup of flour if your dough is too sticky.
  • Place the dough ball in a lightly greased bowl, rubbing the dough around the bowl to coat lightly. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the warm spot for 1 hour or until the dough doubles in size.
  • Punch the dough down and turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the dough into an 8 inch square that is about 1 inch thick. Roll the dough into a tight cylinder. Pinch the seams shut.
  • Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and place the dough in seam side down. Cover with a towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes or until the top is browned and the bread is cooked through.
  • Cool to room temperature. Slice and serve.
