Bread Machine Italian Herb Bread

This bread recipe has been on repeat in our kitchen this Summer. We love it for sandwiches for lunch, or sliced and buttered with our dinner. The bread keeps a crusty edge, while the bread feels so light and fluffy inside. You need to try it! This recipe makes a 1 pound loaf in the bread machine which lasts my family a few days. It takes about 3 hours to bake. So many of you have liked my Bread Machine Italian Bread recipe, but this one adds more Italian flavor with the addition of dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder and onion powder. Throw it in the bread machine, hit the European cycle button and let the bread machine do the work! I hope you enjoy this recipe soon!

How to Make Italian Herb Bread

Add all the ingredients to the bread machine baking pan in this order: water, olive oil, bread flour, sugar, dry milk powder, salt, basil, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder and active dry yeast. If you have a European Bread cycle, press that. If you don’t, select the Basic Bread cycle. And then start the machine. Our bread machine takes about 3 hours from start to finish. And then you will have a beautiful loaf of Italian Herb Bread waiting for you! Slice it and enjoy!

Storing Bread

Store bread in your belly – hahaha, just kidding (but am I?)! Allow the bread to cool completely before storing it. Place the bread in a plastic or paper bag, bread box, or wrap it in plastic wrap. If wrapping, overlap the sheets slightly to keep out air. Keep stored on kitchen counter, good for up to 5 days. Pin for later:
