Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means adding the wet ingredients firstβstart with water, milk, and softened butter.
Next, add the sugar and salt to the liquid mixture in the pan.
Pour the bread flour evenly over the liquid ingredients to create a barrier. This helps keep the yeast separate from the liquids until the kneading begins.
Make a small well in the center of the flour (without reaching the liquids) and add the instant yeast into the well.
Secure the pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program on your bread machine. Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) and press Start.
Allow the bread machine to knead, rise, and bake the dough according to the selected program. This process typically takes about 3 hours.
When the bread machine signals that it is done, carefully remove the bread pan using an oven mitt or towel, as it will be hot.
Turn the bread out onto a wire cooling rack and let it cool completely before slicing to ensure the perfect texture.
