How to Make Parmesan Garlic Herb Bread

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll or shape it into a loaf and place it into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper.
  9. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese and pepper mixture evenly over the risen dough.
  10. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  11. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
