Pour the warm water into the bread machine pan. Add the milk, melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt.
Carefully add the bread flour, ensuring it fully covers the liquid ingredients in the bread machine pan.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid while adding it to the well.
Secure the bread machine pan into the bread machine. Close the lid and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, depending on your machine model. Choose a light or medium crust color, if the setting is available.
Start the bread machine and let it run its cycle.
When the cycle is complete and the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts (it will be hot!).
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then gently remove it and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
