Rustic Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread
This Rustic Garlic Parmesan Herb Bread is a savory loaf made with a yeast dough infused with dried herbs—rosemary, basil, oregano—and minced garlic, giving it a fragrant aroma and complex flavor. Grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty note, while olive oil and butter create a moist crumb and crisp golden crust.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup water 100-110℉, warm
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons rosemary dried
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1 cup warm water. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 6 cloves minced garlic.
- Add 2 cups of the all-purpose flour and 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese to the bowl. Stir until a rough dough forms. Gradually add in the remaining 1/2 cup flour until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add enough flour so the dough is soft and slightly tacky but not sticky.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Drizzle a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into a round loaf and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let the loaves rise for another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Top each loaf with a 1/2 tablespoon-size piece of butter.
- Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
