Makes 2 loaves
In large bowl, combine two cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water, milk and butter until very warm (120-130 degrees); gradually add to flour mixture. Beat two minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in one cup flour, beat at high speed for two minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover, let rest 10 minutes.
