In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 cup warm water. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 6 cloves minced garlic.
Add 2 cups of the all-purpose flour and ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese to the bowl. Stir until a rough dough forms. Gradually add in the remaining ½ cup flour until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add enough flour so the dough is soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drizzle a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round loaf and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let the loaves rise for another 15 to 20 minutes.
Top each loaf with a ½ tablespoon-size piece of butter.
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
