Step-by-Step Instructions
- Activate Yeast: In a large bowl, combine warm water with granulated sugar and instant dry yeast. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
- Mix Dough: Stir in salt, minced garlic, and dried herbs. Gradually add all-purpose flour and grated parmesan cheese until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead Dough: Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- First Rise: Shape into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for about 1 hour until doubled in size.
- Shape Loaves: Punch dough down, divide into two pieces, and shape into balls. Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Second Rise: Cover the loaves and let them rest for 15-20 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Bake: Brush with melted butter and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- Cool: Let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before slicing.
