Make a flavorful Italian herb and cheese bread using your bread machine. This recipe yields a loaf perfect for sandwiches or serving with dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water, warm (105-115°F)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups bread flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Add the warm water and olive oil to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your machine’s manual.
  2. Add the bread flour, sugar, and salt on top of the liquids. Create a small well in the center of the flour.
  3. Add the yeast to the well. Do not let the yeast touch the salt or liquid yet.
  4. Select the Basic or White Bread cycle on your machine.
  5. When the machine signals for mix-ins (usually after the initial kneading phase), add the Italian seasoning blend and garlic powder.
  6. When the machine signals for the final additions (usually just before the final rise), add the Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
  7. Allow the bread machine to complete the full cycle, including baking.
  8. Once the cycle finishes, carefully remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • For best results in your bread machine, always add liquids first, followed by dry ingredients, and place the yeast last.
  • This cheesy dinner bread slices well once fully cooled, making it ideal for sandwiches.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
