In stand mixer (or large) bowl, combine and whisk together Warm Milk, Granulated Sugar and Dry Active Yeast. Let stand for 5 to 10 min to bloom and become frothy.
Add in Honey, Egg, Melted Butter, Salt and All-Purpose Flour. Mix with dough hook attachment for 5 min, or knead by hand until smooth.
After kneading to a smooth ball of dough, remove from bowl, oil the bowl well with olive oil, and place dough back in bowl. Coat well.
Cover bowl with dry dish towel and let dough rise in warm area for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubles in size.
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Once risen, punch air out of dough to deflate. Transfer to clean countertop. Cut dough in half and shape first by flattening out dough with palm of hand, fold up each end, then roll to a log. Pinch seam closed. Repeat with second portion of dough.
Place rolled loaves into 2 separate well greased bread loaf pans. Cover both pans with dry dish towel and let rise for 30 min, or until each loaf doubles in size.
Bake both for 25 to 30 min, until lightly golden brown on tops.
Immediately brush tops with Melted Butter and transfer both loaves to a wire cooling rack to cool, about 45 min, before slicing.
