Add all ingredients to your automatic bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, this means starting with liquids (warm water, molasses, honey, and melted butter), followed by salt, spices, and flour, and ending with the yeast placed in a small indent in the top of the flour.
Set your bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'Sweet' bread cycle, and select your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the dough according to the cycle program.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let the bread cool slightly in the pan for about 5 minutes.
Carefully turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
