Super-fast Italian bread in the breadmaker

Hello. My top is pale because someone opened the machine and peeked.
This is super-fast because you use the food scale. If you don't have a food scale, you can find the fairly-fast version of the recipe using traditional measurements at the end of this post.

Tools needed:
  1. breadmaker
  2. food scale
Prep time: 2 minutes

Directions:
  1. Get out your ingredients:
    1. water
    2. olive oil
    3. sugar
    4. salt
    5. instant dry yeast
    6. flour
    7. optional: 1 tbsp dill or oregano (they are too light to measure well on the scale)
  2. Put your loaf pan on the food scale, set it for grams, and zero it (hit the TARE button)
  3. Follow the chart
    slowly add....
    until your scale says....
    slightly warm water
    364g
    olive oil
    400g
    sugar

 Traditional measurement recipe:

Combine the following in the breadmaker:

  2. Another 1 tablespoon water
  3. 3 tablespoons olive oil
  4. 2 teaspoons sugar
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. 4 1/4 cup flour (Spoon into the measuring cup and level it. Do not scoop or you'll compress the flour and end up with too much.)
