In a separate bowl, combine water, milk, and melted butter.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until combined.

Incorporate sugar, yeast, and eggs into the mixture.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a cloth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a greased pot.

Sprinkle cornmeal on the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking.

Cover the pot and let the dough rise for another 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
