Add the warm water and milk to the bread machine's pan. Ensure the liquids are at about 110Β°F (43Β°C) for proper yeast activation.
Sprinkle the rolled oats evenly over the liquids in the pan.
Add the unsalted butter (cut into small pieces), honey, and salt into the pan, distributing them evenly.
Carefully add bread flour to the pan, ensuring it covers the liquids completely to prevent interfering with the yeast.
Make a small well in the center of the flour without reaching the liquid, and add the instant yeast into this well.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and set to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting (typically a 3-hour cycle). Select a light or medium crust as per your preference.
Start the machine and let it knead, rise, and bake the bread. Avoid lifting the lid during the process to maintain a consistent temperature.
Once the cycle completes, carefully remove the bread pan (use oven mitts as it will be hot). Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
Gently remove the loaf from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
