Ensure your bread machine pan is clean and properly inserted into the machine.
Add the ingredients into the bread machine pan in the following order: warm water, olive oil, honey, and salt.
Next, evenly layer the bread flour over the wet ingredients to create a barrier. This helps prevent premature interaction with the yeast.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the flour layer, followed by the dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
Finally, make a shallow well in the flour and add the active dry yeast to the well. Be careful not to let the yeast touch the liquid.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program. Choose your preferred crust color (light, medium, or dark).
Press 'Start' and let the bread machine do its work, which will include mixing, kneading, proofing, and baking the bread.
When the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Turn the bread out onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
