Mix flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.

In a separate bowl, warm milk and water until lukewarm.

Add sugar and butter to the warm liquid, stirring until dissolved.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the shaped dough into a greased loaf pan and cover again.

Let it rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the top of the loaf with a beaten egg for shine.

Sprinkle seeds on top if desired.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
