Ensure your bread machine's pan is clean and properly inserted into the machine.
Add the ingredients into the bread machine in the following order: warm water, milk, unsalted butter, salt, granulated sugar, and bread flour.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Be careful to avoid direct contact between the yeast and liquid ingredients.
Set your bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' setting, depending on your machine model. Choose a medium crust setting, if available.
At the beep (or when your machine indicates itβs time to add additional ingredients), add the chopped walnuts and raisins.
Allow the bread machine to complete its entire cycle, which includes mixing, kneading, rising, and baking. This should take approximately 3.5 hours, depending on the machine.
Once the cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove the bread from the machine and turn it out onto a wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
