Add the warm water, milk, softened butter, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer.
Sprinkle in the salt.
Add the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour, spreading them evenly across the surface of the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the liquid.
Secure the bread machine pan in the machine and select the Basic or Sweet Bread cycle, with a medium crust setting if available.
Start the bread machine. Monitor the dough during the first few minutes of the kneading cycle to ensure it forms a smooth, slightly tacky ball. If the dough is too dry, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time. If it is too wet, add 1 teaspoon of flour at a time.
When the bread machine signals to add mix-ins (or approximately 5 minutes before the end of the kneading cycle), add the dried cranberries and chopped pecans.
Once the bread machine completes the cycle and the bread is baked, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Cranberry Pecan Bread warm, toasted, or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
