Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the breadmaker's pan.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the wet ingredients.
Add the bread flour to the pan, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Sprinkle the oregano, basil, rosemary, and garlic powder over the flour.
Create a small well in the center of the flour (without reaching the liquid) and add the active dry yeast.
Insert the pan into the breadmaker and secure it properly.
Select the basic white bread setting, with a light or medium crust setting depending on your preference. Start the machine.
When the cycle is complete and the breadmaker beeps, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts (it will be hot).
Allow the bread to cool slightly in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently shake the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight container or bag for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
