Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, and dry yeast. Let the yeast mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

Gradually pour the yeast mixture into the flour, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form. Add the olive oil and continue kneading the dough for about 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.

First Rise: Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Shape the Bread: Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down to release any air bubbles. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and shape it into a round or oval loaf. You can also divide it into smaller portions to make individual bread rolls.

Second Rise: Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it again with the damp cloth and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you like, brush the top of the dough with a little olive oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley and chili flakes for added flavor and visual appeal.

Bake the Bread: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped. If you're making smaller rolls, they may only need 15-20 minutes.

Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy it warm with butter, cheese, or your favorite dip.
