Add the warm water, olive oil, and sugar to the bread pan of your automatic bread machine.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the liquid. Add the bread flour on top, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Make a small well in the middle of the flour and add the dry active yeast, careful not to let it touch the liquid underneath.
Select the basic white bread setting or the dough setting on your bread machine (depending on whether you plan to bake it entirely in the machine or finish in the oven). Start the machine.
Once the machine alerts you (or during the kneading phase), add the minced garlic and shredded Gruyère cheese. Let the bread machine incorporate these ingredients into the dough.
If baking in the bread machine, let it complete the entire cycle until the bread is golden brown and fully cooked. If using the dough setting, transfer the dough to a greased loaf pan once the cycle ends and allow it to rise for an additional 30-40 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if finishing the bread in the oven. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Once the bread is finished baking, brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with optional parsley for garnish.
Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
