Add the warm water, sour cream, butter, and honey to the bread machine pan in the order specified by the manufacturer of your machine (usually liquids first).
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the bread flour, ensuring it completely covers the liquid base.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. This helps to prevent the yeast from activating before the machine is ready.
Insert the pan into the bread machine and select the basic or white bread setting.
Choose the 1.5-pound loaf size option and your desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark).
Press start and let the machine knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process typically takes around 3 hours.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
