Add the water, honey, olive oil, and salt into the bread machine pan.
Layer the bread flour and milk powder over the liquids. Ensure that the liquids are fully covered by the dry ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the instant yeast. Avoid letting the yeast touch the liquids directly.
Close the bread machine lid and set it to the basic or white bread setting. Select the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) and the loaf size (1.5 lb loaf).
Start the bread machine.
After the machine begins mixing (approximately 5-10 minutes into the cycle), add the sunflower seeds to the mixture.
Allow the bread machine to complete its full cycle, including kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then remove the loaf and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
