Add the water, milk, butter, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add the rolled oats and bread flour to the pan, making sure to spread them evenly.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds over the flour layer.
Make a small well in the flour (avoiding the liquid) and add the active dry yeast to the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread machine and select the basic or whole wheat bread setting, depending on your machine. Choose the medium crust option, if available.
Start the bread machine and let it run through the kneading, rising, and baking cycles. This typically takes about 3 hours.
Once the bread is finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Gently transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
