Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, liquids go in first, followed by dry ingredients, and then yeast.
Start by pouring 1 cup of warm water into the bread pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of sugar evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Measure and add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the bread pan, ensuring it completely covers the liquid layer.
Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of dried basil evenly over the flour.
Add 0.5 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the flour and basil.
Finally, make a small well in the center of the flour and pour in 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast.
Set your bread machine to the 'Basic Bread' or 'White Bread' setting, selecting your crust preference (light, medium, or dark).
Start the machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread, which should take approximately 3 hours depending on your bread machine model.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
