Step 1:
Combine first 5 dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. In separate bowl, combine milk, water and butter.

Stir until butter melts. Beat in egg.
Step 3:
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. Beat with wooden spoon or electric mixer until smooth and elastic. Add half of remaining flour. Beat well.

Stir in enough remaining flour gradually, to make a soft, non-sticky dough.

Step 9:
Shape into a loaf. Place seam side down in greased 9" x 5" x 3" (2L) loaf pan. Cover with tea towel.
Step 10:
Let Rise in warm place until dough rises 1" (2.5 cm) above top of pan (60 to 75 minutes).
