Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups flour
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow it to sit for about five minutes or until frothy.
- Add olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture, and stir well.
- Gradually add flour to the mixture, mixing until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for about one hour, until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough, shape it into a loaf, and place it on a greased baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and parsley, then bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
