Extra Cheese Bread Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Activate the Yeast

   In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

2. 2

   Mix the Dough

   In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

   Knead the Dough

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   First Rise

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

   Add Cheese and Herbs

   After the first rise, punch down the dough, then knead in the shredded mozzarella, shredded cheddar, garlic powder, and dried oregano until evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Shape the Bread

   Form the dough into a loaf or divide into smaller rolls, depending on your preference. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
