Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add milk, flour, salt, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Roll and Fold
After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat this process 3 times, refrigerating for 30 minutes between each fold.
