Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup warm water (110°F / 43°C)

1/4 cup olive oil

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Combine Mixtures: Once the yeast is frothy, pour it into the dry ingredients along with the olive oil. Mix until a dough starts to form.

Incorporate Cheese: Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses to the dough. Knead the mixture in the bowl or on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Shape Bread: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Shape it into a loaf or divide it into smaller rolls.

Second Rise: Place the shaped bread on a lined baking tray or in a loaf pan, cover it, and allow it to rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Egg Wash: Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg to give it a golden finish while baking.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

Cool & Serve: Once baked, allow the bread to cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley or basil for added flavor and presentation. Slice and enjoy your cheesy bread warm!
