  • Author: Luna
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 ¼ cups warm water (110°F / 43°C)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a combination)
– 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or parsley), finely chopped
– Extra flour for dusting
– Optional: 1 tablespoon garlic powder for added flavor


Instructions

Making Herb & Cheese Bread can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt.
3. Mix Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until combined.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Incorporate Cheese and Herbs: Knead in the shredded cheese and herbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Shape the Loaf: Once risen, punch down the dough gently to release air. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake: Once risen, bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Following these steps will result in a warm, cheesy, and herby bread that you will want to keep on hand.
