Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- Pour in warm water and olive oil, then mix until a sticky dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide into two portions, shape into loaves, and place on a lined baking tray. Top with mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with more Italian seasoning.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container or wrap in plastic wrap once cooled. Lasts up to 3 days at room temperature or 1 week in the refrigerator.
- Freeze for up to 3 months for longer storage.
- For a healthier option, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
- To make dairy-free, use dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese.
- Experiment with additional herbs like thyme, rosemary, or dried basil for varied flavors.
