Instructions

  • Mix up your dry ingredients in a large bowl – flour, sugar, yeast, salt, and Italian seasoning.
  • Pour in warm water and olive oil, then stir until a sticky dough forms. Knead in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly.
  • Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled.
  • Punch down dough, shape into a loaf, and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Let it cool before slicing or serving to avoid gummy texture.

Notes

Wrap leftovers in plastic wrap or freeze slices for long-term storage. Let bread cool fully before slicing for best texture.
