    Hone your artisan baking skills making this savory Italian loaf bread. Olives, garlic, rosemary and Parmesan cheese flavors predominate, and tantalize everyone at home while baking. Use slices as an accompaniment to any Italian entree, or create a sandwich or open-face with sliced meats and/or cheeses. The recipe can be made in a heavy-duty stand mixer by conventional yeast bread method, or use the dough setting on a bread machine to save your energy, then shape and bake bread in oven.

    7. Sprinkle top with remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese.
    8. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F. oven for 30-35 minutes or til internal temperature of bread reads 190 degrees F. (Light baking pans may require additional time than dark.)
    9. Refrigerate leftover bread.
    10. BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS:
