In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Gradually add the warm water and milk to the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.
Add the softened butter to the dough. Knead the dough by hand on a floured surface or using the dough hook of a stand mixer for 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a mini loaf and place them into greased mini loaf pans.
Cover the mini loaves with a kitchen towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 minutes until they slightly puff up.
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Bake the mini loaves on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the loaves from the pans and let them cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
