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.
2
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.
