Add the warm water (around 40°C), whole milk, and unsalted butter (cut into small pieces) into the bread machine pan.
Add the granulated sugar and salt to the wet ingredients.
Carefully add the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients. Ensure the flour completely covers the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour in the instant yeast, avoiding direct contact with the liquid.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program on your bread machine. Choose a light or medium crust setting, depending on your preference.
Start the bread machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the dough. The process should take about 3 to 4 hours, depending on your machine.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Turn the pan upside down onto a cooling rack and gently shake it to release the loaf. Let the bread cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze slices for longer storage.
