In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix well until all dry ingredients are well incorporated.
In a separate bowl or a measuring jug, whisk together the warm water, melted unsalted butter, and milk. Ensure the butter is melted and the mixture is lukewarm.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Gradually pour in the wet ingredients while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.
Move the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it achieves a smooth and elastic consistency.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm environment for 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release air. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into 24 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a smooth ball. Roll each ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Arrange the coated dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are spaced apart to accommodate spreading.
Cover the dough again with a damp cloth and let it rest for another 20-30 minutes for the second rise.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough is rising.
Once the dough has risen, bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm and enjoy!
