Default Bruschetta from fresh bread

I made the bread yesterday. An Italian Herb one.

Using dough mode in a bread machine (TR Breadman Ultimate line is
recommended for those with visual constraints as it has a good beep
setup to help).

1 1/3c water (my machine likes an added 2 TBSP)
2 TBSP olive oil
4 1/4 c bread machine flour
3 TBSP sugar
2 tsp salt
2 tsp yeast
1 tsp basil
3 TBSP Italian Herb Mix

After finish dough mode, cut to 4 even pieces and shape on greased pan.
A baguette pan is optimal as it will control the spread.

Let rise in a cold oven with the light on, or someplace not too drafty
with a towel over it, for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 400F and bake 16
minutes.

For the Bruschetta,
I used 2 medium tomatoes, rough chopped
1/3 c minced green onion bottoms and some tops to fill it out
2 small mashed cloves garlic
2 TBSP Olive oil
1/2 TBSP dried Oregano
1 tsp dried Basil
2 tsp dried Parsley
Top with slivers of white cheese and a shemenji mushroom

Combine then add to bread, topping last with cheese and the mushroom
and bake about 8 minutes at 400F. Baking time will depend on how much
Topping and how thick the bread is.
