Instructions

  1. Combine yeast, sugar, and warm water in a large bowl and let it sit for a minute until foamy.
  2. Stir in salt, herbs, and garlic until well blended.
  3. Add 2 cups of flour and parmesan cheese to the bowl and mix to form a sticky dough.
  4. Gradually add more flour while mixing until the dough is soft and stretchy.
  5. Oil a bowl and place the dough inside, covering it with a towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise for about an hour until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  7. Gently punch down the dough and divide it into two balls, shaping them into rounds on the baking sheet.
  8. Cover loosely and let them rise for an additional 15-20 minutes.
  9. Brush half a tablespoon of butter on top of each dough round before baking.
  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden and hollow sounding when tapped underneath.
  11. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cooling rack, and allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
