  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
– 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
– 2 teaspoons sugar
– 2 teaspoons salt
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Making Delicious Italian Herb and Cheese Bread is a straightforward process if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. Add the Yeast Mixture: Pour the activated yeast mixture into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough begins to form.
4. Incorporate Cheese & Herbs: Add mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, rosemary, and thyme into the dough. Mix until evenly distributed.
5. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6. First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
7. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough, turn it out onto a floured surface, and shape it into a round or an oval loaf.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake the Bread: Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
11. Cool the Bread: Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

These steps give you a great start in creating this incredible bread, leading to wonderful flavors that will satisfy any palate.
