If you've never made yeast bread, this is an excellent recipe to begin with. Invite company and get out the butter and / or good olive oil! Will give you 2 loaves!
Mix milk, sugar, salt and butter in a small bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves; cool to lukewarm. Pour warm water into a large warm bowl, sprinkle in yeast, and stir until dissolved. Stir in milk mixture, add 3 cups flour, and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Mix in enough additional flour, a little at a time, to make a soft dough (you will have to use your hands toward the end). Mixture will be sticky but should leave sides of bowl reasonably clean. Knead on a lightly floured board until satiny and elastic, 8-10 minutes, adding as little extra flour as possible. Shape into a smooth ball, place in a greased large bowl, turning dough to grease all over. Cover with cloth and let rise in a warm draft-free spot until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour. Punch down, turn onto lightly floured board and let rest 5 minutes; knead lightly 2 minutes. Halve piece of dough and shape each into a loaf about 7 inches long and 4 inches wide; place in greased 9 x 5 x 4 inch loaf pans, cover, and let rise about 1 hour in a warm spot until doubled in bulk. About 15 minutes before baking, preheat oven to 400 degrees. When loaves have risen, brush tops with melted butter if you like a soft crust. Bake 35-40 minutes until golden brown and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Turn out immediately and cool on wire racks.
