Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried ones?
While this recipe calls for dried basil, parsley, and rosemary, you can certainly use fresh herbs if you prefer. Keep in mind that the flavors of fresh herbs are more potent, so you may need to adjust the quantities accordingly. A general guideline is to use three times the amount of fresh herbs compared to dried herbs. Try different amounts until you reach your desired flavor level.
Can I substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour?
While bread flour is recommended for this recipe due to its higher protein content, you can substitute all-purpose flour if needed. The resulting bread may have a slightly different texture and may not rise as much, but it will still be delicious.

Directions
Open the lid of the bread maker and remove the pan from the machine by pulling it upward.
Make sure the pan is clean and both kneading paddles are in place.
Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed.
Put the bread pan back in the bread machine, pressing it down so that it clicks into its place, and close the lid.
Plug the bread machine into an outlet and press the “Power” button to turn the machine on.
Use the “Program” button to select program #1 for the basic cycle.
Press the “Color” button to choose your desired crust color.
Press the “Size” button to choose the weight of the loaf you are making. The time display will also change as you select the size of the bread since larger loaves take longer to cook.
Press the “Start” button to start the bread-making cycle.
The machine will let you know by making a beep sound once the bread-making cycle is finished. Open the lid at this time and remove the bread pan out by using a pot holder.
If you do not remove the loaf immediately, the bread machine will automatically go into a warming cycle to keep the bread warm for one hour.
After taking the bread pan out of the machine, flip the pan over and gently tap it to remove the bread. Make sure the kneading paddles are taken out of the bread loaf.
Your herb bread is ready.
