  1. Combine warm milk and honey in a mixer bowl, sprinkle yeast on top, and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add softened butter, egg, salt, all-purpose flour, and whole wheat pastry flour to the bowl. Mix on low until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on medium-low speed for 5-7 minutes until smooth, elastic, and clearing the sides of the bowl.
  4. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm spot for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
