Ingredients:  
2 1/2 C (13 3/4 oz) bread flour
2 tsp instant or rapid-rise yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
3/4 C whole milk
1/3 C (2 2/3 oz) water
2 Tbs unsalted butter, melted
2 Tbs honey

Directions:
Using stand mixer, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt. Whisk milk, water, butter, and honey in 4-cup liquid measuring cup until honey is dissolved.

Fit mixer with dough hook. Slowly add milk mixture to flour mixture on low speed until dough starts to form, about 2 minutes. Increase speed to medium-low and knead until dough is smooth and elastic and clears sides of bowl, about 8 minutes.

Transfer to lightly floured counter and knead to form smooth, round ball, about 30 seconds. Place dough seam side down in lightly greased large bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.

Grease loaf pan. Press down on dough to deflate. Turn out onto lightly floured counter. Press and stretch dough into 8x6 rectangle, with long side parallel to counter edge. Roll dough away from you into firm taut cylinder. Pinch seam closed and place loaf seam side down in prepared pan. Cover loosely with greased plastic and let rise until loaf reaches 1 inch above lip of pan and dough springs back minimally when poked gently with your knuckle, 1-1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 350º. Mist loaf with water and bake until 35-40 minutes until deep golden brown and registers 205-210º. Let loaf cool in pan for 15 minutes. Remove loaf from pan and let cool completely on wire rack.
