Pour 1 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of milk into the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are at room temperature or slightly warm (about 100°F).
Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar to the liquid mixture in the pan.
Next, measure out 2.5 cups of bread flour and 0.75 cups of whole wheat flour. Sprinkle these over the liquid mixture, ensuring the liquid is fully covered.
Add 0.5 cups of rolled oats and 3 tablespoons of dry milk powder on top of the flour layer.
Make an indentation in the center of the dry ingredients (but not reaching the liquid) and place 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast into the indentation.
Sprinkle in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese around the sides, avoiding the yeast indentation.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, with a medium crust option if available. The process typically takes about 3 hours to complete.
Once the bread cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine, and transfer the bread to a wire cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool completely (about 20-30 minutes) before slicing and serving.
