In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the water and milk. Heat them until warm but not hot (around 110Β°F/43Β°C).
Add the steel-cut oats to the warm liquid mixture and let them soak for 5β10 minutes.
Pour the liquid and oat mixture into the bread machine pan.
Add the whole wheat flour and bread flour to the pan, ensuring they cover the liquid completely.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and salt over the flour.
Drizzle the olive oil over the dry ingredients.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the active dry yeast to the well. Avoid direct contact between the yeast and any wet ingredients.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and select the Whole Wheat Bread cycle. Choose your crust preference (light, medium, or dark) and the loaf size (1.5 lb).
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread according to the cycle settings.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
