Method

  1. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and instant yeast.

  2. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, mix together the milk, water, and oil. Heat this mixture to a temperature between 120°F and 130°F. Make sure to stir the liquid well before measuring its temperature.

  3. Pour the hot liquid over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl.

  4. Using an electric beater or stand mixer with beater attachment, beat the mixture at high speed for 1 minute. The dough should be smooth and very soft.

  5. If you don't have an electric mixer, beat by hand for 2 to 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and starting to become elastic.

  6. Lightly grease an 8½×4½-inch loaf pan and sprinkle the bottom and sides with cornmeal.

  7. Scoop the soft dough into the pan, leveling it as much as possible.

  8. Cover the pan and let the dough rise until it is just barely crowned over the rim of the pan. This should take about 45 minutes to 1 hour, assuming the liquid was heated to the correct temperature and your kitchen isn't very cold.

  9. While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 400°F.

  10. Remove the cover from the pan and bake the bread for 22 to 27 minutes, or until it is golden brown and its interior temperature reaches
