Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Basil pesto
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Dry active yeast
Instructions
Add the water, olive oil, and basil pesto to the bread machine pan.
Sprinkle the salt and sugar into the liquid mixture.
Add the flour, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the dry active yeast, ensuring it does not touch the liquid.
Secure the bread machine pan into the machine and close the lid.
Set the bread machine to the basic or white bread setting, choose your crust preference (light, medium, or dark), and start the machine.
Allow the bread machine to complete its cycle, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking, lasting around 3 hours and 50 minutes for most machines.
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts and turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing, around 30 minutes, to ensure the texture is set.
