Italian Herbs And Cheese Bread
  1. Step-by-Step Guide:

  2. Prepare the Dough:

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  4. Add the flour, salt, dried herbs, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese to the yeast mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

  5. Knead the Dough:

  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

  7. Proof the Dough:

  8. Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl. Cover it with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

  9. Shape the Bread:

  10. Punch down the risen dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf or place it in a greased bread pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

  11. Preheat the Oven:

  12. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a shallow pan of water at the bottom of the oven to create steam.

  13. Bake the Bread:

  14. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until it turns golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. The internal temperature should reach 200-210°F.

  15. Cool and Serve:

  16. Let the bread cool on a wire rack before slicing. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature!
