Add the warm water, milk, and butter to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the liquids. Ensure they are evenly distributed.
Add the bread flour, spreading it evenly across the top of the liquid ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the flour with your finger or a spoon, ensuring it does not reach the liquid below.
Add the active dry yeast into the well. This keeps the yeast separate from the liquids during the initial mixing phase.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Dough' cycle on the bread machine and press 'Start'. This usually takes around 90 minutes.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough from the machine and place it on a lightly floured surface.
For a loaf of bread: Shape the dough into a loaf and place it into a greased 9x5-inch bread pan. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 30-45 minutes.
For dinner rolls: Divide the dough into 10-12 equal portions, shape them into balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 30-45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread loaf for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and it sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Bake the dinner rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the bread or rolls cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
