My family eats this flavorful bread as fast as I can make it. Sometimes I add different herbs, red onion or crumbled bacon. It's one of my best recipes! —Mary Cass, Baltimore, Maryland

Ingredients

1 cup water (70° to 80°)
4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
4-1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1-1/4 teaspoons salt
3-1/4 cups bread flour
1-1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
TOPPING:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first seven ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1-2 tablespoons water or flour if needed).
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch dough down. Roll into a 13x9-in. rectangle; transfer to a 13x9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray.
For topping, brush dough with olive oil; sprinkle with basil. Layer with the tomatoes, onion and broccoli; sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until golden brown and cheese is melted.

To prepare dough by hand: Dissolve yeast in warm water (110° to 115°). Combine the olive oil, sugar, oregano and salt. Stir in yeast mixture and enough flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 hour. Proceed with recipe as directed.
