Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, granulated sugar, and instant dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Once the yeast mixture is bubbly, add salt, minced garlic, dried herbs, and all-purpose flour. Gradually mix in grated parmesan cheese to form a sticky dough.
  3. Transfer the sticky dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down gently, divide into two portions, and shape into round loaves. Place on a greased baking sheet.
  6. Cover the loaves and let them rise for 15-20 minutes while preheating your oven to 375°F.
  7. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Cool the loaves on a rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
