This Italian Herbs and Cheese Bread is soft, flavorful, and filled with savory goodness. In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Add olive oil and activated yeast mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 8–10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1 ½ hours, or until doubled in size. Punch down the dough and shape into a loaf. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. Gently press into the dough. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Brush with melted butter while warm for extra flavor. Let cool before slicing.Italian Herbs And Cheese Bread
