Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1 packet of active dry yeast, 1 cup of warm water, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, pour it into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until it forms a shaggy dough.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow to rise for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the cheese topping by combining 1 cup of mozzarella, ½ cup of parmesan, ¼ cup of parsley, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- After the dough has risen, punch it down gently and divide into two equal portions. Shape each into a loaf.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the loaves have risen, brush with olive oil and sprinkle the cheese topping evenly.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- Allow the loaves to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes before slicing.
