Make a flavorful Italian herb and cheese bread using your bread machine. This recipe yields a good sandwich loaf with rosemary, oregano, and Parmesan cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups water (warm)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Add the water, olive oil, flour, sugar, and salt to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine’s manual.
  2. Add the yeast to the dispenser cup or on top of the flour, ensuring it does not touch the liquid ingredients yet.
  3. Select the Basic or White Bread cycle, Medium or Light crust setting, and start the machine.
  4. When the machine signals the mix-in period (usually after the initial kneading phase), add the Italian seasoning, rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic through the dispenser chute or by carefully dropping them onto the dough surface.
  5. Allow the bread machine to complete the full cycle, including the bake and keep-warm settings.
  6. Once the cycle finishes, carefully remove the loaf from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, substitute 1/4 cup of the water with milk.
  • If your machine does not have a dispenser, wait until the dough has formed a rough ball, then add the cheese and herbs, punching them down gently into the dough.
  • Store leftover cheesy dinner bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to three days for best texture.
