Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 1 teaspoon Dry active yeast
Instructions
Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the bread machine pan. Ensure the liquids are at the bottom to properly activate the yeast.
Sprinkle salt evenly over the liquids.
Add the bread flour on top, ensuring an even layer to cover the liquids completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour mound and add the dry active yeast. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the liquids at this stage.
Insert the pan into the bread machine and secure it properly per your manufacturer’s instructions.
Select the bread machine's 'Basic' or 'Regular' bread setting. Choose the crust type (light, medium, or dark) based on your preference. For maximum crunch, select 'dark.'
Press 'Start' to begin the bread-making process. The machine will knead, proof, and bake the bread automatically.
Once the bread cycle is complete and the bread is baked, carefully remove the pan from the machine using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Invert the pan to release the loaf onto a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing to lock in moisture and ensure clean cuts.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store in a bread bag or airtight container to keep fresh for up to 3 days.
