Add the water, honey, and unsalted butter to the bread machine pan, ensuring the butter is cut into small pieces.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the rolled oats and bread flour to the pan.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the instant yeast. This ensures proper activation of the yeast during the kneading process.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting for a 2 lb loaf. Select your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Press start and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, and proof the dough. This usually takes around 2 to 3 hours depending on your machine's settings.
Once the bread machine cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
