Add the water, milk, unsalted butter (softened or melted), sugar, and salt into the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer (typically liquids first).
Measure and add the all-purpose flour into the pan on top of the liquid ingredients.
Create a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure it does not come in contact with the liquid.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on the bread machine, choose a 1 1/2 lb loaf size, and select the preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark). Press 'Start'.
Allow the bread machine to knead, rise, and bake the bread. The process typically takes around 3.5 hours.
When the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, then turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your freshly baked white bread!
