Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon instant dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 6 cloves minced garlic
• 2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add yeast, sugar, and water.  Stir in salt, rosemary, basil, oregano and garlic.
2. Add in 2 cups flour and the parmesan cheese and stir until combined.  Gradually add in the remaining 1/2 cup flour (if needed) until you have a smooth and elastic dough that is tacky, but doesn’t stick to your hands.
3. Transfer to a lightly greased mixing bowl, cover, and let rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.  Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil.
5. Gently divide the dough in half and shape into two separate round loaves.  Place loaves onto the prepared baking sheet.  Let rise another 15-20 minutes while oven is preheating.
6. Top each loaf with 1/2 tablespoon butter.  I just tuck it in the center of each loaf.
7. Bake in the 375 degree oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
