In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast and honey. Stir and let
stand for 12 minutes.
Mix the egg, butter, salt and water into the milk mixture. Gradually add the
flour, stirring until well blended.
Cover the bowl and allow dough to rise in a warm place until more than doubled
in bulk (about 45 minutes). Stir the dough down and beat for 30 seconds.
Put the dough into a greased 9" cast iron skillet. Bake at 375° for about 50
minutes. Brush melted butter on the top of the loaf when it is still hot from the
oven.
