Measure and add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the exact order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, and yeast is added last.
Pour 3/4 cup of whole milk into the bread machine pan. Add 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 1 large egg.
Layer the dry ingredients on top of the liquid mixture. Start with 3 cups of bread flour, then sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast, ensuring the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Select the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' bread cycle (depending on your machine’s options), set the crust color to 'Medium,' and select the loaf size as necessary (this recipe is for a 1.5-pound loaf).
Press start, and allow the machine to knead, rise, and bake the bread. The cycle will take approximately 3 hours to complete.
Once the cycle is finished, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
