Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together minced garlic, parsley, basil, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese.
Shape the Bread
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, then pinch the seams to seal.
- Place the rolled dough seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
Bake the Bread
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
