In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm (120 to 130oF); stir into dry ingredients. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 cup flour; beat at high speed for 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough in half; roll each half to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, roll up tightly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, in greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Bake at 400oF for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pans;cool on wire rack. To Make Whole Wheat Bread: Substitute 2 cups whole wheat flour for part of all-purpose flour. |
