Add 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 2 tablespoons of honey into the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle 1.5 teaspoons of salt evenly over the liquid ingredients in the pan.
Add 3 cups of bread flour on top of the liquid ingredients, making sure to spread it evenly across the pan.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mound and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into the well, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon each of dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley, and dried thyme evenly over the flour.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread maker and close the lid securely.
Select the Basic/White Bread setting on your bread machine. Choose a crust color (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference.
Press the Start button, and allow the bread machine to complete the kneading, rising, and baking cycles (approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes).
Once the bread machine signals completion, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts, and turn the bread out onto a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing for best results.
