Cooking Method

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it stand for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the flour.
Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and turn it to coat all sides.
Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air.
Shape it into a loaf, rolls, or your preferred bread style.
Place the shaped dough into a greased baking pan or baking tray.
Cover and let it rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
