Pour 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of water together in a bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and salt to the mixture and mix well.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of yeast to the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature.

In a separate bowl, add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of butter, and 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening.

Mix the butter and shortening into the flour until well combined.

After 10-15 minutes, check the yeast mixture; it should be bubbly.

Combine the yeast mixture with the flour mixture gradually, ensuring the dough remains soft.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is soft and not sticking to your fingers.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and a towel, and let it rise for about 1-1.5 hours.

After rising, punch down the dough and knead in a little more flour if necessary.

Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper and grease it.

Place the dough in the baking pan and let it rise again for 10-15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until done.
