– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil

– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Creating Italian Herbs and Cheese Bread can be simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, instant yeast, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and parsley.
2. Add Warm Water: Gradually pour in the warm water, mixing with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Incorporate Cheese: Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese to the dough, kneading until the cheese is evenly distributed.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes or until doubled in size.
6. Shape the Dough: Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a round loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Second Rise: Cover the shaped loaf with a cloth and let it rise for another 20-30 minutes.
8. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
9. Bake: Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
10. Cool: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before slicing.

By following these steps, you’ll create a delicious Italian Herbs and Cheese Bread that’s perfect for any occasion.
