Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pouring warm water into the bread machine pan. Add the olive oil to create a moisture-rich base.
  2. Layer the bread flour on top of the liquid mixture, covering it fully. Sprinkle in the sugar, salt, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.
  3. Create a small well in the center of the flour and pour the yeast into this well, ensuring it remains separate from the salt.
  4. Close the lid and choose the Basic or White Bread setting. Adjust the crust preference if your machine allows.
  5. Press the start button and let the machine bake the bread for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
  6. Once baking is complete, carefully remove the pan and transfer the bread onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
