Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir gently, then let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the activated yeast mixture, warm milk, vegetable oil, and salt. Gradually add the flour, about 1 cup at a time, stirring after each addition until the dough begins to form.
Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-10 minutes, adding more flour as necessary until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll it out into a rectangular shape, then spread the melted butter over the surface. Roll the dough into a log shape, pinching the edges to seal.
Second Rise: Place the dough into a greased loaf pan. Cover it again with a towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until it has risen just above the top of the pan.
Bake the Bread: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough has finished rising, bake it in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Cool and Serve: Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy with butter, jam, or as a base for sandwiches!
