Rustic Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add yeast, sugar, and water. Stir in salt, rosemary, basil, oregano, and garlic.

Step 2

Add in 2 cups of flour and the parmesan cheese and stir until combined. Gradually add in the remaining 1/2 cup flour (if needed) until you have a smooth and elastic dough that is tacky, but doesn't stick to your hands.

Step 3

Transfer to a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover, and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil.

Step 5

Divide the dough in half and shape into two separate round loaves. Place loaves onto the prepared baking sheet. Let rise another 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 6

Top each loaf with 1/2 tablespoon butter.

Step 7

Bake in the 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown.
