- 3 cups bread flour, plus more for kneading

Instructions
- 1
Warm the milk and water together in a small saucepan over low heat until the mixture reaches 105–110°F (40–43°C) — warm to the touch but not hot. Pour into the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle in the yeast and honey, and stir briefly to combine. Let stand for 5–10 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the yeast is visibly active.

Add the bread flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes.
