Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare yeast by mixing warm water and sugar, then sprinkle yeast over and let sit until foamy.
- Mix dry ingredients: flour, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning in a large bowl.
- Combine ingredients by creating a well in dry mix to add yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until shaggy dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Let the kneaded dough rise in a greased bowl for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Incorporate cheese by punching down the risen dough and kneading in mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Shape the dough into a loaf and place in a greased loaf pan, letting it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough is rising.
- Brush the loaf with melted butter and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool before slicing.
