This Garlic Herb Cheese Bread makes a tasty side to any pasta dish!

Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast
  • 2 TBSP honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 1/2 – 4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

For the Filling:

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded or cubed mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped Italian fresh herbs (sage, oregano, basil, and thyme)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine milk, yeast, and honey. Let sit for 5 minutes or until the top is bubbly.
  2. Add eggs, 3 1/2 cups of flour, and salt. Using a dough hook, mix until the flour is combined.
  3. Add additional flour if the dough appears sticky. The dough should be smooth to the touch.
  4. Cover the bowl and let it sit at room temperature for an hour or until it has doubled in size.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine all cheeses, fresh herbs, and garlic.
  6. When the dough has rested for 1 hour or has doubled in size, punch the dough down and roll it out onto a lightly floured surface to create a large rectangle about 12×18 in size.
  7. Sprinkle the cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
  8. Starting with the long edge, roll the dough tightly until you have formed a tight log.
  9. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough in half lengthwise. Turn the halves out to expose the filling and then cross the dough ropes over each other to create a twist.
  10. Coil the dough into a circle, transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
