Method
- Stir the milk, water, yeast and sugar in the mixer bowl.
- Add the flour and salt and mix with the dough hook on low until a shaggy dough forms. Add the butter and knead on medium-low 8 to 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise in a warm spot 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until doubled.
- Press the dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle, roll it up tightly from the short side and pinch the seam. Set it seam down in the greased pan.
- Cover and let rise 45 to 60 minutes, until the top crowns about an inch over the pan. Heat the oven to 375°F during the last 20 minutes.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until deep golden and 190°F in the center. Turn out and cool at least 1 hour before slicing.
