Add 1 cup of water and 0.25 cup of milk to the bread machine pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces, to the liquid ingredients.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1.5 teaspoons of salt evenly over the liquid.
Carefully add 3.25 cups of bread flour over the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Create a small well in the center of the flour using your finger or the back of a spoon, ensuring it does not reach the liquid below.
Place 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into the well.
Insert the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on the bread machine, the medium crust option, and press the Start button.
Allow the machine to complete its cycle, which typically takes about 3 hours, including kneading, rising, and baking.
Once the bread is done, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts, then turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.
Let the bread cool completely for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
