Italian Herb Bread

This is an easy bread for the bread machine.  I made it on a wet, rainy day so I could have cut back on the amount of water in this recipe to get a lighter bread.  It was still good with spaghetti and has a subtle flavor that would make it a good sandwich bread as well.

Italian Herb Bread

9 oz. warm (not hot) water  (1 cup plus 2 Tbsp.)
(If the humidity is high or if it's rainy, I'd drop this down to 1 cup.  You can tell if you need to add a bit more liquid if you watch the dough when it first starts blending.  If it's not achieving normal bread dough consistency and looks too dry.  Slowly add a bit more water, a teaspoon at a time, while it's kneading in the machine.)
2 Tbsp. butter or margarine, softened
3 cups bread flour
1 Tbsp. dry milk
1 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. Italian seasoning
3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. regular yeast or 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast

Place in bread machine according to your manufacturers directions. Bake as directed.
