Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add olive oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
Let the Dough Rise
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Add Herbs and Cheese
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and fold in the mozzarella cheese and dried herbs.
Shape and Bake
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
- Let the dough rise again for 20 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
Cool and Serve
- Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.
