Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whisk the flours and yeast together. Add melted butter, honey, and water to the bowl. Beat on low for 1 minute to combine. Raise speed to medium and beat for 4 minutes, scraping halfway through with a greased spatula (the dough will be relatively wet and sticky).
- Thoroughly scrape down the sides of the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Dissolve salt with 2 tablespoons water. Add salt water to dough. Place bowl back on to the stand mixer and mix on low for 40 seconds. Mix on medium-speed for another minute.
- Again using a greased spatula, scrape the dough into a greased 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Nudge the dough to the edges of the pan using the spatula. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Remove plastic wrap and allow bread to rise another 5-10 minute (this way, the surface of the bread won't touch the plastic wrap). Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Brush the top of the bread with egg wash. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until bread has domed and reaches an internal temperature of 208-210 degrees.
- Carefully remove bread from the loaf pan. Brush the top and sides of the bread with 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of melted butter (for flavor as well as to soften the crust of the bread). Let bread cool completely before slicing.
- Bread is best the day it's baked but can be wrapped and stored at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze for up to 1 month.
