A golden, crispy crust with a soft, pillowy inside filled with gooey cheese, garlic, and fresh herbs—this bread is pure comfort food joy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)
  • 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar.
  2. In a small bowl, combine yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  3. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Roll out the dough into a rough rectangle and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, and fresh herbs.
  8. Roll up the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seams to seal. Place the log seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  9. Cover with a towel and let it rise again for 30 minutes.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  11. Brush the top with melted butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs for garnish. Let cool slightly before slicing.

Notes

[‘Give the dough enough time to rise for the perfect texture.’, ‘Use warm water (around 105°F/40°C) to properly activate the yeast.’, ‘Spread cheese evenly for consistent gooeyness in every slice.’, ‘Keep an eye on the bread during the last few minutes of baking to avoid overbaking.’]
