Method
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
- Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To revive, heat in the oven or toaster.
