Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cups Bread flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast

Directions

Step 1

Add 1 cup of water (room temperature or slightly warm) to the bread machine's baking pan.

Step 2

Pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1.5 tablespoons of honey.

Step 3

Add 3 cups of bread flour, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt evenly over the flour.

Step 5

Add the dried herbs: 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of dried thyme, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Step 6

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the well. Ensure the yeast does not come into contact with the liquid.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Select the basic or white bread setting on the bread machine. Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark). Set the loaf size, typically 1.5 pounds for these quantities.

Step 9

Press start and let the bread machine do the work. The process will take approximately 3 hours.

Step 10

Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
