Ensure your bread machine components are clean and fully assembled.
Add 0.5 cup of water to the bread pan, followed by 0.5 cup of ricotta cheese. Make sure the ricotta is evenly spread.
Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil into the pan, followed by 1 tablespoon of honey.
Sprinkle 0.75 teaspoon of salt evenly over the wet ingredients.
Carefully measure and add 2.5 cups of bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it forms a flat, even layer.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add 1 teaspoon of instant yeast into the well. Avoid letting the yeast touch the wet ingredients at this stage.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
Select the basic or white bread setting on your bread machine. Choose a medium crust color if options are available.
Start the bread machine and let it run through the entire cycle, which typically includes mixing, kneading, proofing, and baking.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan using oven mitts. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the ricotta bread as desired, whether for sandwiches, toast, or as a side to soups and stews.
