Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon instant dry yeast

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 cup warm water 100-110℉

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

6 cloves minced garlic

2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

In a bowl, combine the warm water, instant dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, rosemary, basil, oregano, and minced garlic.
Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough and knead in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise again for 30 minutes.
Melt the butter and brush it on top of the loaf before baking.
Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, add fresh herbs or more garlic. Let the bread cool completely before slicing for best results.
