Cheese Bread Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Prepare Dough

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

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

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

  5. 5

    Add Cheese and Parsley

    Once risen, punch down the dough and knead in the shredded cheese and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. 8

    Bake the Bread

    Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
