Water
A bit more:
I never could find a bread recipe that I was really happy with; they just never seemed moist enough. So I finally 'developed' my own bread recipe, which makes wonderful, moist, tender bread. Part of what I did that gives such good results is using 1 1/3 cup whole milk and 2/3 cups heavy cream in place of water or plain milk, and I also add more shortening to the recipe, too. And I have never made a dry loaf of bread since.
