Ensure your bread machine pan and paddle are clean and properly installed.
Pour the warm water into the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the water.
Add the granulated sugar, salt, and softened unsalted butter to the pan.
Gently spoon the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it fully covers the liquid layer.
Sprinkle the dry milk powder evenly over the surface of the flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour, avoiding the edges, and add the active dry yeast into the well.
Secure the bread machine pan in the machine and close the lid tightly.
Select the `Basic` or `White Bread` cycle, choose the `Medium` crust color setting, and start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete the kneading, rising, and baking process, which usually takes about 3 hours depending on the machine.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
