Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves minced garlic
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix well until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch down the dough and roll it out on a floured surface to fit a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Step 8

Transfer the rolled dough to the baking pan. Brush the garlic butter evenly over the top.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the dough.

Step 10

Sprinkle the dried oregano and parsley over the cheese layer followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Allow the cheesy bread to cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
