Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids (warm water, honey, and melted butter) go in first, followed by dry ingredients (salt, bread flour, and dry milk powder), and finally yeast.
Ensure the yeast does not touch the liquid by creating a small well in the flour and placing the yeast in it.
Close the bread machine lid and select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program. Choose your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark) if the machine has that option.
Start the bread machine and allow it to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread. This usually takes about 3 hours and 30 minutes, depending on the machine.
Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts or a towel (it will be hot).
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as is or with your favorite spreads. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
