Cheesy Bread Ingredients

Method

Cheesy Bread Instructions

1

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

2

Knead the Dough

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

3

Shape the Bread

Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to your desired shape (round or rectangular). Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

4

Prepare Cheese Topping

In a bowl, mix the mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, and black pepper.

5

Top and Bake

Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the shaped dough. Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

6

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
