Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan.
Layer the bread flour and whole wheat flour on top of the wet ingredients to create a barrier.
Sprinkle the salt over the flour, keeping it away from the yeast placement.
Make a small well in the flour and pour the instant yeast into the well.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the French bread or basic white bread setting on your bread machine. Choose the light crust option for an ultra-light loaf, if available.
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake according to the selected program (usually about 3 hours).
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the machine and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing.
