In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix together the heavy cream, whole milk, and the egg. Whisk until the egg is fully incorporated.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture.
Using a dough hook attachment, mix the ingredients on low speed until they start to come together.
Add the softened unsalted butter to the dough mixture and increase the speed to medium. Continue kneading for about 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 60-90 minutes.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Transfer it onto a lightly floured surface.
Shape the dough into a loaf by rolling it into a tight log. Place it seam-side down into a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Once the dough is ready, bake it in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy the creamy, soft bread as it is, or toasted with your favorite toppings.
