Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1 clove Minced garlic (optional for extra flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Generally, begin with the wet ingredients: water and olive oil.

Step 2

Next, add the sugar, salt, garlic powder, dried parsley, and bread flour to the pan.

Step 3

Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top of the flour. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the water at this stage to maintain optimal rising conditions.

Step 4

If using fresh minced garlic, mix it with the olive oil before adding to the pan for even flavor distribution.

Step 5

Place the bread machine pan into the machine and secure it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 6

Select the 'Basic Bread' or 'White Bread' setting on your bread machine. Adjust the crust setting (light, medium, or dark) to your preference.

Step 7

Press start and allow the bread machine to mix, knead, rise, and bake the bread. This process usually takes around 2.5 to 3 hours depending on the machine.

Step 8

Once baking is complete, carefully remove the pan from the bread machine and let the bread cool for about 10-15 minutes in the pan.

Step 9

Gently turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
