Hand knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, even if it starts off sticky.

Combine the bread flour, high gluten flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast in a bowl.

Add the heavy cream, milk, water, and honey to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.

Knead the dough by hand until it is no longer sticky and has a nice texture.

Incorporate the unsalted butter into the dough and knead until fully combined.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough, divide it into equal portions, and shape each portion into a loaf.

Place the shaped loaves into greased bread pans and cover them to rise again until doubled.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the loaves until golden brown.

Remove from pans and cool on a wire rack before slicing.
