Description
Golden, fluffy bread packed with herbs and molten cheese—tear, pull, and swoon.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Italian herb blend
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Activate yeast in warm milk with sugar until foamy.
- Mix flour, salt, egg, olive oil, and yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
- Knead until smooth and elastic; let rise until doubled.
- Mix softened butter with garlic, Italian herbs, parsley, and Parmesan.
- Roll dough into a rectangle, spread herb butter, and sprinkle mozzarella evenly.
- Roll or fold dough, place into a greased loaf pan, and rest briefly.
- Bake until deeply golden with bubbling cheese; cool slightly before slicing.
Notes
- Ensure the milk is warm but not hot to avoid killing the yeast.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place for best results.
- Feel free to add more herbs or spices to the butter mixture for extra flavor.
