Ingredients
8 Servings
- 2.5 tsp active dry yeast
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the olive oil. Add the flour and salt, and stir until a dough forms.
Step 3
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Step 5
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 12x8 inches.
Step 7
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning evenly over the dough.
Step 8
Roll the dough up tightly, starting from one of the long sides. Pinch the seams to seal.
Step 9
Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make several diagonal slashes across the top of the bread with a sharp knife.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, about 25-30 minutes.
Step 11
Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
