Description

Delightful Italian Herb and Cheese Bread: A Flavorful Homemade Delight


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.

2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder.

3. 3. Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

4. 4. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, incorporating the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses as you go.

5. 5. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.

6. 6. Punch down the risen dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise for another 30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.

7. 7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

8. 8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with olive oil and sea salt or pair with soups and salads.
