italian herb bread

i agreed to make a bread to go along with a spaghetti meal i was making, excpect for that I realised that I didn't have the time to make a regular bread (about 4 hours), so i did a quick interenet search and found this recipe for a rapid bread. although it looked and smelled good... i never did personally try it, so I hope it turned out.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp warm water
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 2 Tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 2 1/2 Tsp bread machine yeast
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp mixed Italian Herbs

Preparation:

• Put ingredients except for egg and herbs into the bread machine container in the order in which your bread machine suggests.
• Make a well in the center for the yeast and poke a hole in one corner of the flour and insert one unbeaten egg, keeping it away from the yeast well.
• Add yeast, if not already added and then sprinkle the herbs over the top.
• Set to bake for a cycle that completes in about an hour.
• This is for a Sunbeam Breadmaker and I have had no experience with other machines.
• However, I got the idea of this from a non-Sunbeam bread book and adapted to the Sunbeam.

Note:

• the original recipe called for 2 1/2 tbsp of yeast... I changed this to 2 1/2 tsp. instead
• also i added 1/2 tsp. salt.
