Pour the warm water into the bread machine's pan.
Add the olive oil, sugar, and salt into the water. Do not stir.
Carefully add the bread flour on top of the wet ingredients, ensuring it covers the liquid completely.
Create a small well in the center of the flour (without reaching the liquid) and pour the active dry yeast into the well.
Place the bread machine pan into the bread machine and close the lid.
Select the 'French Bread' or 'Basic White' bread setting (depending on your bread machine model). Choose the crust color (light, medium, or dark) according to your preference, then press 'Start'.
Once the bread machine finishes its cycle, carefully remove the bread pan and turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
