This recipe uses a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment.

  2. Pour in the milk and water.
  3. Mix on low speed until a smooth dough forms, about 5 minutes.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  5. Turn the mixer back on with the hook attachment on low-medium speed.
  6. Add all the butter cubes and continue to mix until the dough is smooth, stretchy, and not sticky, about 8 minutes.
  7. Form the dough into a ball and place it seam side down.
  8. Make 2 slashes on top, place back into the mixing bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour.
  9. Put the bowl with the dough into the refrigerator to chill for 4-12 hours, depending on your preference.
