Herb Bread for the Bread Machine
 
1  CUP room temp water (too cold or hot will change the first rise levels)
1 TBL Olive Oi
4 TSP Sugar
1 1/2 TSP Salt (Kosher works better than table)
3 CUPS All purpose Flour (King Arthur Red is best, bread flour will not rise as well)
2 1/4 TSP Dry Yeast (SAF is the best, store brands and other require temp setting)

Second Cycle

1/4 CUP Parmesan Cheese, grated
2 TBL Olive Oil
1/2 TSP Basil Powder
1/4 TSP Oregano Powder
1/8 TSP Black Pepper
 
Use the dough setting and add first group of items, at the end the First cycle (about 10 minutes),
add the Second cycle items that are mixed together, except oil.
After the dough has started to mix, add the rest of the oil.
If the dough is still falling apart after a few minutes, add more oil.
At the end of the dough cycle, flatten the air out and form into a loaf.
place in a very lightly oiled bread pan. 
Cover with a damp paper towel or dry kitchen towel. 
Let rise for an hour.
