  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water with sugar and instant yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy and bubbly.

  5. First Rise: Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  6. Shape the Loaf: Gently punch down dough, turn out onto a floured surface, and shape into a loaf.
  7. Second Rise: Place shaped loaf on a baking sheet, cover, and let rest for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  9. Add the Cheese Topping: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the loaf just before baking.
  10. Bake the Bread: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F (87°C).
  11. Cool Before Slicing: Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing.
