🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp instant yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water

For the Topping

1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F.
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, yeast, and sugar.
4Add warm water and mix until a dough forms.
5Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
6Let the dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
7Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
8Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.
9Sprinkle the minced garlic over the butter, followed by the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, and basil.
10Roll the dough tightly from the long side, sealing the edges.
11Place the rolled dough seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
12Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts across the top of the dough about 1 inch apart, but do not cut all the way through.
13This will create a cross-hatch pattern.
14Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
15Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

We like to store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer for up to three days. When reheating, I recommend adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
