Add the warm water (around 110°F/45°C), olive oil, and honey to the bread machine's pan.
Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Add the bread flour on top of the liquid mixture, spreading it out evenly to cover the liquids completely.
Sprinkle the salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried thyme over the flour. Be careful not to let the salt come into direct contact with the yeast.
Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast.
Set the bread machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' cycle with your preferred crust setting (light, medium, or dark). If available, choose a size setting appropriate for a 1.5-pound loaf.
Start the bread machine and allow it to do the work of kneading, rising, and baking. The total time will depend on your machine's specific cycle but usually takes approximately 3 hours.
Once the bread is baked, carefully remove it from the machine's pan and place it on a wire rack to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the aromatic flavors of garlic and herbs in every bite!
