Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Add the ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, wet ingredients go first: pour in 1 cup of water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey.
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt into the pan, followed by 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of dried basil.
Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring the flour completely covers the liquid.
Make a small well in the center of the flour mound and add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast into the well. Make sure the yeast doesn’t touch the liquid initially.
Insert the bread pan into your bread machine, secure it in place, and close the lid.
Set your bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting, select your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark), and start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete the mixing, kneading, rising, and baking cycles. This usually takes about 3 hours, depending on the model and settings.
Once the bread is done baking, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts (it will be hot). Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container or bread box for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
