Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup + 3 Tbsp milk divided
1 Tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp active dry yeast
1 tsp salt
2 Tbsp unsalted butter room temperature

Instructions

Using the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour. Remove 3 Tbsp of flour and place into a small saucepan. Leave remaining flour in the bowl.
Add ½ cup of milk to the saucepan; stir until well combined.
Heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk, until mixture has thickened and become smooth. (Note: This will take ~2 minutes.)
Transfer mixture into bowl with the remaining flour. Add remaining milk (½ cup + 3 Tbsp), sugar, yeast, salt and butter.
Using the dough hook attachment, mix on low speed for 1-2 minutes, or until dough comes together. Increase speed to medium and mix for 10-12 minutes. (Note: The extended mixing time is necessary due to the increased liquid in this style of bread.)
Transfer dough into a large oiled mixing bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until approximately doubled in size.
Spray a 9”x5” loaf pan with nonstick baking spray; set pan aside.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll dough into a 9” square. Fold the dough into thirds (like a letter). Fold dough in half lengthwise. Place dough seam side down in loaf pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm location until dough has risen ~1” above edges of pan (about 30-45 minutes).
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until top of loaf is golden brown. (Note: If you have a digital kitchen thermometer, the temperature should register 190°F in the center of the loaf.)
Let bread cool in pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack until completely cool.
