Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, parsley, basil, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Assemble the Bread
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the garlic herb cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and pinch the seams to seal.
- Cut the log in half lengthwise to expose the filling and twist the two halves together.
- Place the twisted dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve
- Let the bread cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
