Add 1.25 cups of water to the bread machine pan.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste on top of the water.
Add 3.5 cups of all-purpose flour to the pan, spreading it out to cover the liquid.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 2 teaspoons of dried basil, and 1.5 teaspoons of dried oregano evenly over the flour.
Gently add 0.5 cups of grated Parmesan cheese and 0.5 cups of shredded Cheddar cheese to the mix.
Sprinkle in 0.25 cups of finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, ensuring they are distributed evenly.
Create a small well in the center of the flour mixture, making sure it does not reach the liquid layer below.
Add 2.25 teaspoons of active dry yeast to the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread machine and select the 'White Bread' or 'Basic' setting for a large loaf (2 pounds).
Choose a medium crust color setting or your desired crust preference.
Start the machine and let it run through the full cycle, which includes kneading, rising, and baking (approximately 3 hours).
Once the bread is fully baked, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
