  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the minced garlic, parsley, basil, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Assemble the Bread

  2. Spread the garlic herb cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
  3. Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other to form a log.
  4. Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Bread
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  3. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
