Open the bread machine and ensure the paddle is securely attached to the bread pan.
Add the warm water, honey, and olive oil to the bread pan.
Carefully layer the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and semolina flour on top of the liquid ingredients to prevent mixing at this stage.
Sprinkle the salt, ground cumin, and ground coriander over the flour mixture.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients using a spoon or your finger, without reaching the wet ingredients below.
Add the active dry yeast into the well you just created.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and close the lid securely.
Select the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' setting on the machine. Use the 'Medium' crust setting for optimal results.
Press the 'Start' button and allow the bread machine to knead, rise, and bake the Sahara Sand Bread. This process will take approximately 3 hours.
Once the bread is finished baking, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts.
Turn the bread out onto a cooling rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
