Proof the Yeast: Pour 1.5 cups of warm water into a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the Dough: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well, pour in the yeast mixture, and olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, and cover. Let rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
Prepare the Filling: After rising, punch down the dough, roll it into a rectangle. Spread garlic, herbs, and cheese over it, leaving a border.
Shape the Bread: Roll the dough into a log, slice it lengthwise, and twist the two halves together. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake the Bread: Preheat oven to 425°F. Brush dough with olive oil and bake for 20–30 minutes until golden. Cool slightly before slicing.
